Superstar DJ Diplo's Mad Decent Block Party Festival has been scrapped days before it was due to take place in Massachusetts.
Pop sensation Billie Eilish, rapper G-Eazy, Diplo's dance group Major Lazer, and R&B singer Miguel had been booked to headline the two-day bash at Gillette Stadium next weekend (20-21Jul19), but on Wednesday (10Jul19), organisers announced the bash would no longer be going ahead as planned.
A statement posted on social media read: "Unfortunately, putting this event on in the way it was envisioned has become impossible, due to circumstances beyond our control.
"All parties involved have agreed that moving forward would be a disservice to fans and artists alike, and cancellation is in everyone's best interest."
The news emerges weeks after rapper Kodak Black dropped out of the line-up, leading festival officials to offer reduced-price tickets as they failed to find a "comparable" replacement to fill his spot on the bill.
Diplo initially launched the Mad Decent Block Party as a touring event in 2008, with the concert named after his record label.
It's not the first celebrity-backed bash to be axed this summer - DJ Kaskade recently pulled the plug on his third annual Sun Soaked festival in Long Beach, California because he didn't think it would live up to his expectations.
