According to Rezz, they’ve also taken down the LED walls on the stage.
I have no idea what’s going on, but Apparently forest is closed for the time being …. and they’ve taken the LED wall off of Sherwood – the stage I am playing. I am really fuckin hoping the weather turns around .

If the weather clears up, and my stage doesn’t have an LED screen due to it being taken down , I will still perform.
Yes, it’ll be just me, my goggles , a black screen & my music
But that is ok
