According to stereogum.com, Capulet Fest was originally scheduled to take place at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway between June 28 and June 30. But on June 27, the festival’s organizer Capulet Entertainment announced on social media that the venue would instead be the lower capacity Webster Theater, with a handful of bands set to perform, accounting for a couple of groups that had dropped from the lineup following the venue change. By Saturday evening, the final day of Capulet Fest was fully cancelled and on Sunday, the festival’s Facebook and X accounts were deactivated.
On Thursday Capulet Entertainment posted on Facebook that the change in venue was allegedly due to “a discrepancy and some miscommunication with the production crew and the speedway.” As a result, the bands Nothing More, Senses Fail, Cold, 10 Years, Sleep Theory and Saint Asonia were cut from the lineup and Capulet Entertainment did not give any details on requesting refunds. After the announcement, Thompson Speedway posted on Facebook stating that their team is “not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Capulet Fest or Capulet Entertainment.”
On Saturday evening, Capulet Fest announced that the third and final day of the festival was cancelled. The news was spread via a now deleted Facebook post that was shared during the band LiveKill’s performance. The group went on Instagram afterwards saying the venue had to be cleared out mid set.
Sunday’s lineup was supposed to feature Taproot, Flyleaf’s Lacey Sturm, Eyes Set to Kill, Letter Kills, Islander, Of Virtue, Nowhere Left, LIMBS, Bloodlines and American Arson. Customers have allegedly not been given any information about requesting refunds.
