Sincere thanks from our entire event staff to those who supported the festival in 2011 and with advance tickets this year.

Fans are voicing their displeasure on the Kanrocksas Facebook page, mainly because the festival was cancelled so late, creating a great inconvenience for those who made travel plans or had skipped other music festivals to attend the weekend shows.  Some are blaming high ticket prices on the poor ticket sales, while others simply preferred to see a different lineup of bands.
