Music and culture festival BUKU Fest 2021 will no longer happen this fall.
BUKU: Planet B joins several other fall music festivals to cancel due to concerns of the spreading Delta Variant.
The event was rescheduled for October 22 - 23 but in a statement, organizers say due to the current COVID-19 situation, they do not “see a guaranteed path forward.”
“The purpose of PLANET B was to “set yourself free” as we celebrate the return of festivals in New Orleans. Simply put, we’re not quite there yet. However, by putting the health of the community first NOW, we believe we are doing the right thing to preserve the FUTURE and ensure that this surge is the last,” the statement says.
Ticket holders will receive an email soon with details about the refund and rollover process. They plan to return March 25 - 26 2022.
