In what was a sudden turn of events, the Festival’s promoters received a call on August 15th with information that the NEPGM Music Festival, slated for October 1 & 2 and probably one of the most talked about regional all-ages events in recent years, was suddenly at the risk of being displaced from its chosen venue. This will in effect inconvenience the 5,000 fans and the 70+ bands under contract with the promoters of the event. It has also impacted the local shops and vendors who were looking forward with anticipation to this Festival because of the major financial impact this will have on the regional economy. The city of Lowell is apparently refusing to allow the fest to occur at The Ballpark, citing the possibility that it might attract “a different sort of demographic”. Promoters Mar and Marchesi, who have contracted with 70+ local bands and 4 national headlining acts, have vowed to continue to forge ahead with the plans concocted for this event that were formulated over 8 months ago.

First off, we have a petition going: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/pgmf2005/petition.html Also, we need media coverage on what's going on. Media sways public opinion, so we need this story leaked to newspapers, TV, radio all over New England. To make thing easier, I've written up a simple press release which can be copy-and-pasted into an email and quickly sent to media outlets all over the Northeast. I want them to contact us, and we'll give them the hottest story of their careers! http://www.nepgmfest.com Email: Anderson@nepgmfest.com
