The Roots n Blues Festival in Columbia, Missouri
Columbia, Missouri's Treeline Music Fest, formerly the Roots N Blues festival, has been cancelled for 2023. The annual festival is typically held in Stephens Lake Park each fall.
The festival announced the cancellation via Instagram Thursday afternoon, citing "significantly higher than expected expenses" that have made it "impossible to produce this event to the standard the community deserves."
The 2023 lineup was selected to broaden the scope of the festival and introduce a more diverse selection of artists to the event. Featured performers included MUNA, The Robert cray Band, Jo Dee Messina, Salt-n-Pepa, Japanese Breakfast, and Noah Cyrus, among others.
The announcement also stated that refunds for tickets purchased directly through Front Gate Tickets will be processed to the original method of payment "in as little as 30 days."
