ATLANTA — Organizers of the 404 Festival at the Pratt Pullman District in Kirkwood — with headliner Big Boi of Outkast fame — has postponed the event just five days before it was set to happen.
The organizers of the new festival posted a vague statement on social media Monday afternoon attributing unspecified “recent events” for cancelling this weekend’s festivities. It was set for Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. More than 50 Atlanta-based vendors and music acts were expected, such as Niko Moon, Roscoe Dash, Travis Porter, Ricky Retro and Hedonistas.
“In light of recent events, we have made the conscious decision to pause this year’s 404 Festival to explore options that will allow our fans to celebrate the community inclusion, growth, and appreciation of the City of Atlanta,” the organizers wrote. “While every step was taken to responsibly host the event, a certain level of community sentiment ultimately led to the decision.”
