NYC Mayor Adams Warns Electric Zoo Promoter of Potential Penalties
Avant Gardner, the live events promoter behind Electric Zoo, may face action from the city of New York for overselling the festival and its mismanagement. The festival experienced multiple issues, including the cancellation of the first day due to an unfinished stage and reaching capacity on the final day, leaving many ticketholders stranded outside. Mayor Eric Adams stated that the city will deal with Avant Gardner based on their behavior and actions. Avant Gardner has a history of overselling their events, including the Brooklyn Mirage venue. The organizers claim that the first day was canceled due to delayed permits, while industry sources suggest it was due to unpaid vendors resulting in a shortage of professionals for the festival.
