Nine Inch Nails have released the shirt they planned to sell at their Louder Than Life festival show in Louisville with Alice In Chains.
They wrote on their official website, “THE LOUDER THAN LIFE FESTIVAL IN LOUISVILLE, KY WAS CANCELLED DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER. WE HAD ALREADY PRINTED EVENT TEES FOR THE DATE, SO WE ARE GOING TO SELL THEM AND DONATE PROCEEDS TO THE SALVATION ARMY LOUISVILLE TO HELP AID THEIR FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS. PRINTED ON A BLACK, 100% COTTON, MENS TEE.”
You can view a photo of the shirt below.
Louder Than Life announced a couple of weeks ago, “It is with deep regret that we inform you that this weekend’s Louder Than Life festival has been canceled due to unsafe conditions resulting from ongoing rain and flooding at the festival site — Champions Park. After carefully inspecting the grounds and infrastructure this evening, the City and we have determined that it is no longer possible to make the festival site safe in time for this weekend.
We appreciate the outpouring of support from our fans, the numerous offers to come out and help, and the herculean efforts of the City of Louisville in trying to make the festival happen. The one thing we will never sacrifice is the safety of our fans, bands, staff and patrons.
Before making the decision to cancel the festival, we looked at every option, from moving the event to another location to breaking the event up into smaller events in various venues. Unfortunately, it’s not logistically possible, and the weather is just not cooperating. It is not safe to attempt to move equipment, and replacement equipment is not available.”
