This weekend’s ‘Pointfest‘ show at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in St. Louis, MO has been cancelled as a result of the passing of Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell. Soundgarden were to headline the event, which was to feature Stone Sour, Pierce The Veil, The Dillinger Escape Plan and more. The festival’s organizers offered:
“It is with deep regret, we are announcing that due to the sudden passing of Chris Cornell of Soundgarden last night, Pointfest on Saturday is cancelled.
Tickets purchased online at LiveNation.com or through Ticketmaster will automatically be refunded. Tickets purchased at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre Box Office must be returned to the box office for full refund.
105.7 The Point, Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre, and Live Nation extend our deepest sympathies to the members of Soundgarden, their crew, management, and the Cornell family.”
Sadly Cornell was found dead last night (May 17th) after having taken his own life, just hours after the band’s show at The Fox Theatre in Detroit, MI.
