The cancellation of the montgoRock Festival last weekend in Dénia aroused the indignation of the public that already had its entrance and that was surprised, less than 24 hours of the beginning, by the announcement of cancellation of this musical event that was to be held in the parking lot of the Maritime station Denia.
Four days after the announcement, the organization has issued a statement on social networks explaining what happened. As they relate, the problems began with the change of councils of Xàbia, municipality where the festival was going to be held at first. "We had everything clear with a man who forgot to write down and let the new ones in", says the statement, "denial after denial we only have the change of municipality".
After finding the ideal location in the parking lot of the Maritime Station, the bureaucratic procedures begin: "from the City Council they tell us that in the future, they like the idea, the technicians are wonderful, they point out two things and that's it". Once all the reports were approved by the corresponding technicians, they announced the change of location, with the complaints that came from the people who came from other municipalities.
To avoid inconvenience, the organization offered free buses from Jávea to Dénia, and converted tickets sold as 'general' into 'Vip' tickets. On Friday before the festival, and after a meeting of more than six hours, the organization decided to suspend the event.
The organizer of the festival, José Antonio Serrano, explains in the statement that "We are sorry for everything that happened, especially for those who came from afar and spent money on the road and hotels. I hope you at least discovered a beautiful area to continue visiting. For us it has been a stick, well one not, several".
Finally, the organization has announced that people who already had their ticket will have free access to the new edition of the festival, whose date is not yet established but will be announced shortly.
