Sloss Fest Family –
First, we want to thank you for coming to this year’s Sloss Fest. This weekend had some really great moments, as well as some challenges. We appreciate your patience and are working on a solution for you.
The safety of our fans, performers, and staff is our number one priority. As many of you know, weather in Alabama can be very unpredictable, and over the weekend our festival organizers were in constant contact with on-site Emergency Management Agency officials and the National Weather Service gathering important details on constantly developing and evolving weather conditions. Reports of multiple lightning strikes within a close proximity to the festival set in motion official protocols designed to ensure the safety of everyone on-site. These protocols are standard and followed by outdoor music festivals and sporting events across North America.
We remain committed to bringing fans in our home state the best music festival experience possible, and unfortunately, the inclement weather prevented us from delivering that experience as planned.
We are always striving to improve our plans and procedures to optimize fan experience and safety. We want to thank those of you who have already shared your feedback. We’ll be sending out a survey to capture any additional thoughts or comments you may have.
You will hear from us again in the coming days. Thank you again for your support!
