BREAKING NEWS! - Viva Las Vegas 2020 Canceled Due To Covid-19
The Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender & Car Show has been officially cancelled for 2020 due to concerns over the safety of the attendees over the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. The news given by show organizer Tom Ingram comes days after other major music festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach were also cancelled and moved to later in the year. This was no doubt a tough choice to make as it takes all year to produce the event.
Below is Tom Ingram’s cancellation confirmation message via Facebook:
VIVA LAS VEGAS 23 IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The safety of VLV attendees and staff always comes first so as we cannot guarantee that, we have decided to cancel VLV23. I am sure that this is not a surprise to you. This is the last thing we wanted to do but we all know it is for the best. We decided not to postpone until later in the year because we do not know when it would be safe to postpone the event until, or if the date would be convenient to everyone, especially as other rockin’ weekenders are in the calendar later in the year. Myself and the other VLV staff have put a whole year of long days putting Viva Las Vegas 23 together. We have been very excited about this years line up as have been many people. What we did not see coming until recently is the current health scare in the world and the travel ban. We are sorry that it has taken a while to post this but there are a lot of parts to cancelling an event.
Below is information for those of you who have bought tickets or have a hotel reservation at The Orleans.
VLV23 TICKETS
If you bought tickets for VLV23 we will automatically carry them over to VLV in 2021 unless you instruct us otherwise. The Hi Roller ticket price will be going up by around $20 in 2021 as overheads have increased enormously. By carrying over your tickets to 2021 you will keep this years price.
