The festivals of Nocturnal Wonderland and Lucidity unfortunately went through cancellations as a result of the wildfires that impacted the Southern California region. One of the most notable wildfires is the “Line Fire” that affected San Bernardino County since the beginning of this month and that ultimately led to Nocturnal Wonderland organizers to cancel that festival. As for the Lucidity Festival, organizers had initially postponed the festival from April to late-June but they later cancelled the festival due to recommendations from the Santa Barbara County Fire Department because of safety concerns relating to the wildfires. To express solidarity and compassion for attendees who could not get attend Nocturnal Wonderland and Lucidity this year, the Worlds Away Music Festival is providing 1,000 free tickets to anyone who purchased tickets for those aforementioned festivals. On a recent Instagram post that Worlds Away shared, the organizers explained how the affected attendees can acquire those free tickets. The Instagram post stated, “Please email [email protected] with your first name, last name, email, and proof of purchase using the same email associated with your ticket”. Furthermore, the event organizers then stresses the importance of the tickets being for the affected attendees of Nocturnal Wonderland and Lucidity by adding, “These tickets are for those impacted—please be courteous and allow those truly affected to apply”. The spirit of camaraderie amongst dance/electronic music fans and promoters alike as shown in what the Worlds Away event organizers are doing resembled what another festival just recently did. According to an article from The Santa Barbara Independent, the Same Same But Different Music Festival (SSBD) offered free GA tickets to Lucidity attendees who could not attend that festival (as long as they showed proof that they purchased their Lucidity tickets. The actions that both SSBD and now Worlds Away showed that no matter what festival is being showcased, the ethos of PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) still remains strong in the dance/electronic music community and the industry as a whole.Worlds Away Provides Free Tickets to Nocturnal Wonderland and Lucidity Attendees
