\n\tAs three wildfires rage throughout Southern California, electronic music festival Nocturnal Wonderland has been canceled due to its proximity to the blazes.<\/p>\n
\n\tProduced by Insomniac Events, the festival was set to take place this weekend (Sept. 14-15) at the Glen Helen Amphitheatre in San Bernardino, Calif. But producers announced Wednesday (Sept. 11), that the festival will not happen because of the Line Fire, which is burning near the venue.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cWe are saddened to inform you that new fires in the San Bernardino area have ignited over the last 35 hours and are now approaching the Glen Helen Amphitheatre,\u201d the festival announced<\/a> on social media. \u201cThe health and safety of festival attendees and staff is our highest priority. After further discussions with local authorities, due to the impact of the fires surrounding the venue, we will be unable to proceed with Nocturnal Wonderland.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe statement notes that ticketholders will receive an email regarding ticket refunds in the coming days, along with information about how ticketholders can support local firefighters and the residents of affected areas. <\/p>\n \n\tThe Line Fire has been burning in the San Bernardino National Forest since Sept. 5, and expanded to 34,659 acres burned as of Sept. 11. As reported by the San Bernardino Sun<\/em>, local authorities announced<\/a> on Wednesday that \u201cthe worst is getting behind us\u201d in terms of getting the fire contained. Two other fires, the Airport Fire and the Bridge Fire, are currently also burning in Southern California, forcing evacuations and affecting air quality throughout the region.<\/p>\n \n\tThese blazes continue on the tail end of a signficant heatwave, which gripped the region over the last week and brought temperatures up to 112-degrees in parts of the city. Amid this heatwave, the Hollywood Bowl lost power on Sept. 8 and was forced to cancel a show<\/a> by singer-songwriter Vance Joy. The region also experienced a 4.7 magnitude earthquake at approximately 7:30 a.m. local time on Thursday (Sept. 12).<\/p>\n \n\tNocturnal Wonderland is Insomniac Events\u2019 longest running festival, with the 2024 iteration having scheduled featured performances by artists including Kaskade, RL Grime, Slander, Flosstradamus and other genre-spanning electronic acts.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the comments section of the announcement, Insomniac Events Founder Pasquale Rotella wrote, \u201cMy thoughts and prayers go to all those affected by the fires. Heartbroken about the cancellation. Your support means the world. Can\u2019t wait to celebrate together in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
