In the wake of Lucidity Festival’s sudden cancellation and the controversial decision by its organizers not to offer refunds, ticket-holders were left without a clear path forward.
However, in a generous act of support for the festival community, Same Same But Different has decided to extend an offer: a free General Admission ticket to their 2024 event at Lake Perris State Park. The proprietors of SSBD, an unaffiliated festival property, share no financial ties with Lucidity and are extending the offer purely as a gesture of goodwill, according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
The contentious cancellation of Lucidity came after months of delays and failed attempts to relocate the event to Monterey County, with organizers eventually ceasing operations due to financial pressures and logistical hurdles. The decision not to refund ticket-holders led to considerable backlash, leaving thousands of festival-goers in a financial hole.
While Lucidity’s collapse left a sour taste, SSBD is offering a lifeline.
“We know how challenging these times can be, especially when the festival experiences we all cherish don’t go as planned,” reads a statement released by SSBD. “It’s never easy when something you’ve been looking forward to doesn’t work out, and we understand how much time, energy and anticipation went into planning for Lucidity.”
Featuring a big lineup of electronic music artists the likes of Big Gigantic, Ganja White Night and LSDREAM, SSBD is making it known that they are well-positioned to welcome thousands of Lucidity ticket-holders from September 27-29. The enchanting festival will also feature sunrise-to-sunset DJ sets, a Vegas-inspired casino pop-up experience, yoga sessions, mindfulness workshops and much more.
