Wicked Oaks Shuts Down Campgrounds Due To Severe Storms

There is nothing spookier during the Halloween season than scary movies and haunted houses. Of course, having your festival plans fall through can also be alarming. Sadly, Wicked Oaks Arts, Music, and Camping Festival is yet another victim of troublesome weather. The newest festival experience in Austin, TX, which merges Freaky Deaky, Illfest, and Summoning of The Eclipse Fest, has decided to close down the campgrounds due to safety concerns. This is amid potential tornadoes, flooding, and hail.

Located at Carson Creek Ranch, on October 25th and 26th, the festival gathered a star-studded lineup of EDM heavyweights in House and Bass. Headliners include Cloone, Gryffin, Kaskade, LP Giobbi, Martin Garrix, Svdden Death, Flux Pavilion, Kasablanca, Max Styler, and more.

During the early morning hours of Friday, October 24th, the official Wicked Oaks socials released a statement. It explained that, due to warnings from local authorities and the National Weather Service, they would be delaying camping entry until further notice. However, by the afternoon, they released yet another statement. It explained that, due to severe overnight weather, the campground would not open that day. On a positive note, the festival is offering reimbursements for campers who have to find alternate, reasonable accommodations for Friday. This is a rare instance where the organizers are willing to refund an extra expense for attendees.

Furthermore, they’re continuously tracking the situation. They claim they’re aiming at opening camping tolls on Saturday, the 25th at 8 am. Wicked Oaks now joins the list of festivals that have fallen victim to Mother Nature. Most recently, Bonnaroo Festival canceled the remainder of its weekend events after day one.

The Texas-rooted event company Disco Presents brings forth Wicked Oaks. This is a collaboration of three EDM giants in the Texas scene. Freaky Deaky, Illfest, and Summoning of the Eclipse are all taking over a stage each. They provide listeners with a new and vibrant experience. The forest folklore-inspired event is just minutes away from Downtown Austin by the Colorado River. The Carson Creek Ranch is the perfect venue for a wicked weekend. It’s filled with 58 acres of history.

This is a developing story.
