Creamfields New York Show Cancelled
(www.billboard.com)

Just a week after the Las Vegas
edition of the Creamfields electronic
music fest was canceled due to
logistical and other issues, the plug
has been pulled on the New York
installment of the event due to poor
ticket sales. The event, scheduled
for Sept. 1 in the Riverhead section
of Long Island, was to feature performances by Fatboy Slim,
Orbital, and the Crystal Method.

"Both Cream and [event promoter] Clear Channel are hugely
disappointed that the event is not going to take place this year,"
organizers said in a statement. "All the artists and DJs involved
were looking forward to participating in such a significant
event for dance and electronic music. We would like to
apologize to anyone who has already purchased tickets and to
anybody who was planning on doing so."

Refunds are available at point of purchase. The Liverpool,
England, edition of the event is still set for Aug. 25, featuring
Fatboy Slim, Orbital, Gorillaz, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong,
Goldie, Darren Emerson, and more. A Creamfields festival is
also on tap for Nov. 10 in Buenos Aires, and an Australian
event is planned for the last quarter of 2001.
