Organizers of the Atlanta festival Music Midtown has canceled this year’s event. Sources who worked for the festival confirmed to Billboard and Rolling Stone that the event was called off because recent developments with Georgia’s gun laws presented an obstacle to the festival banning guns at an event on government property. Pitchfork has reached out to the festival’s representatives for comment.

“Hey Midtown fans — due to circumstances beyond our control, Music Midtown will no longer be taking place this year,” the festival’s statement reads. “We were looking forward to reuniting in September and hope we can all get back to enjoying the festival together again soon.” Automatic refunds are being issued.
