  • One Tribe Festival has been cancelled due to a "mix of unforeseen events and circumstances," according to organizers. One Tribe was set to take place on September 25th and 26th at the Lake Perris Recreational Area. The festival, a collaboration between California promoter B3 Productions and Amsterdam giant ID&T, planned on running five stages, programmed by Beatport, Jamie Jones' Paradise, Crosstown Rebels and more. One Tribe also boasted a healthy local contingent, with the Deserts Hearts crew appearing alongside California rave veterans DJ Garth and Doc Martin on the B3 stage. Details on refunds are forthcoming. A letter from ID&T parent company SFX Entertainment on the cancellation reads as follows:
    Dear Members of the Tribe, It is with a heavy heart we regret to inform you that One Tribe has been indefinitely postponed due to a mix of unforeseen events and circumstances. The love and support that you have shown us brings a bittersweet feeling as we deliver this news. We extend our deepest thanks for joining us on this journey, one that is over before its time. One Tribe started out as a vision of unity and aimed to stake out a new voice in the crowd of current music festivals. From the venue, to the line-up and programing style, we viewed One Tribe as a fresh approach for Southern California. We have recognized your support from having spent your time and money investing in One Tribe. We don’t take this responsibility lightly and for all current ticket holders, you will be contacted via email this week. We will be issuing full refunds to make sure everyone is taken care of promptly and properly. With love and eternal gratitude, ONE TRIBE
    The New York Times has more on One Tribe's cancellation, including quotes from SFX executive Jacob Smid citing poor ticket sales as the cause for the decision. SFX Entertainment has fallen on hard times lately. Following a failed bid to go private, the company has "posted growing losses and amassed $295 million in debt," according to the Times.
