TIMF further commented, “Yesterday we experienced several schedule delays and changes due toweather-related travel and tech issues,“ organizers wrote in a statementbefore the festivities on Sunday. “When these issues arose, weimmediately began working behind the scenes to adjust and find solutionsas quickly as possible. During this downtime, many of you grewunderstandably frustrated at the lack of information, and we want toapologize.”
Another commenter went off on the music festival’s Instagram, “wanderngstar: @timfsfI like that you’re using a quote from an artist whom you put on 2 hourslate and tried to cut off after a few songs. That quite was for us fromthem, not for your shameless self promotion. Thanks for the non-apolgy.Yesterday was dreadful due to inadequate planning for a storm that hadbeen forcasted far in advance. The rain wasn’t the problem, your lack ofpre-planning was. You should be apologizing to artists and fans alikewith a real statement and a refund. Put your money where your mouth isand take ownership of the issues that caused so much grief for yourcustomers. Thank you @dukedumont and @howtodresswell for speaking out about your experience and in support of a refund for fans. Thank you @polishambassador and @kamiyah for your impromptu extended sets. You were truly classy for that. @timfsfdo the right thing and give us a refund. I paid for VIP and it was apiss poor excuses for a festival. “Rain or shin[e]” yeah right! #classactionsuit #wedeservebetter #refundtimf10.”
It had seemed by the end of the nights, people were either injured from high intensity winds, had gotten sick, or had gone home all-together — which would explain the small crowds at Friday nights headliner Sigur Ros.
Whatever the case, we’re so upset that TIMF will be no more on Treasure Island but hopefully, a better venue and set up will be in place next year for ample music listening-ing experiences.
