Last Friday (September 1), the organizers of Electric Zoo were forced to cancel the entire first day of this year’s festival when its main stage failed a New York City safety inspection just hours before the gates at Randall’s Island were scheduled to open. In a statement explaining the cancellation, EZoo’s promoter, Made Events, blamed it on “global supply chain disruptions [that] have impacted industries worldwide.” But a report published on Wednesday, September 6 by Billboard cites “touring industry sources” who claim that the real reason for the fiasco was Made Events’ failure to pay its 2022 vendors, leading to a lack of seasoned live music professionals willing to work the event.
Last July, Made Events was purchased by the same Swiss investment firm that owns Avant Gardner, a Brooklyn venue complex that has also had its fair share of serious legal issues of late. The FADER has reached out to Avant Gardner for further comment on Billboard’s report.

Rolling Stone last week (September 14), which reported that two festival-goers had filed the lawsuit just over a week after the 2023 instalment, which ran between September 2 and September 3.Here, they highlighted the tumultuous conditions faced by ticket holders over the weekend, and described the two-day event as “a nightmare endured by thousands of electronic music fans”.According to reports, the first day was cancelled just three hours before it was set to start due to ongoing “global supply chain issues”, which reportedly prevented the construction of the main stage at the festival.Additionally, the final day reportedly opened late and was oversold – with the full capacity being met by midday and approximately 7,000 festival-goers being prevented from entering the site, despite having valid tickets.As shared by the outlet, the plaintiffs – Nicole Brockmole and Lauren Bair – are seeking damages on behalf of all of “all affected patrons who paid for ticket(s) for access or entry to [Electric Zoo] were not granted access”.The lawsuit also highlights that “in addition to Friday’s cancellation”, the circumstances at the site on Randall’s Island, New York soon “turned worse for Electric Zoo fans on Sunday when they were left to languish in heatwave for hours after being greeted by never-ending lines to enter the festival and eventually denied entry because the venue was oversold and overcrowded”.Brockmole and Blair – who are from North Carolina and Arizona respectively – were among thousands who travelled to New York for the festival, only to be denied entry. Another attendee who faced the same predicament told Rolling Stone: “I’m never coming back.

TELLURIDE – Considering the success and adoration of the “Sideways,” it’s sort of surprising it took Alexander Payne and Paul Giamatti this long to find another film to make together.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Two-time Oscar winner Alexander Payne returns to the big screen with his entertaining and crowd-pleasing film “The Holdovers” which debuted at the Telluride Film Festival on Thursday night, where he was in-person to introduce. With a 1970s aesthetic, a sharp script by David Hemingson, and a trio of exquisite performers, the film feels like the slam-dunk Oscar contender the establishment members of the Academy can get behind. “The Holdovers” reunites Payne with his “Sideways” star Paul Giamatti.
Thank god for Alexander Payne. The filmmaker is, and always have been, a true humanist. A writer/director more interested in human beings, something that has always been the special effect of his movies. A two-time Oscar winning writer, his latest film, The Holdovers, which had its World Premiere Thursday at the Telluride Film Festival, is one of the rare movies in which he doesn’t also have a writing credit. David Hemingson did the screenplay, but the idea, an inspired one, came from Payne, a real film buff who was always intrigued by Marcel Pagnol’s 1935 French film Merlusse about a group of boarding school students stuck over the holidays with a much-despised teacher. The director thought it had the bones for a new story and developed with Hemingson. Still, set in 1970, it is Payne’s first period film after a celebrated career for movies like Sideways, The Descendants, and many others. He has made some contemporary classics, no doubt, but the warm humanity of a trio of people left alone at Christmas in a snowy boarding school, ranks right up there with his very best. It is funny, sad, witty, poignant, filled with snark and heart and great acting. It also manages to be a film set at the holidays that offers something truly new for the genre, and also delightfully not only evokes the period in which it is set, it also purposely looks like a movie made then.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic We’ve all seen our share of stories about inspirational teachers. “The Holdovers” is dedicated to the opposite sort: a hard-ass named Paul Hunham whom everyone hates. The feeling is mutual, as Mr.
