At 10:41 a.m. on May 1, @元气森林音乐节发文称, in view of the current weather that basically meets the requirements for holding a music festival, the Genki Forest Music Festival on May 1 can be held as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Previously, the organizer officially announced at 4:30 a.m. that due to weather factors, the performance on that day was canceled, and some artists joined the performance on May 2.
Many netizens expressed their incomprehension of the organizer's operation, and questioned how the organizer should compensate fans who refund or cancel their tickets and hotels halfway.
Ms. Zheng, a fan who bought the festival's May 1 show, contacted the reporter because she liked the festival's May 1 singer lineup, so she bought tickets worth 598 a month in advance. "I especially like the singer who performed on the No. 1 stage, and I was going to take the train to Xiamen to watch the music festival early in the morning, but the organizer notified the cancellation before I arrived at the station. Ms. Zheng said that after learning that the music festival was canceled due to weather conditions, she also canceled the train ticket from Quanzhou to Xiamen. "I'm really angry, ruined all my plans, my home is far away from the train station, and the organizer is so strange to cancel it for a while!" Ms. Zheng said, no longer in the mood to watch the festival, hoping that the organizer can refund the ticket in full.
On the morning of May 1, the reporter contacted Sichuan Yihe Culture Communication Co., Ltd., the organizer of the Yuanqi Forest Music Festival, and the staff said that for the fans who refunded their tickets halfway, the company was holding a meeting to discuss refund compensation and other related matters.
