Voodoo Fest says that this year's event scheduled for October will no longer take place.

Organizers say that while they are disappointed in the cancellation, "the health and safety of our fans, artists, staff and community remains our top priority."

The festival is expected to return to New Orleans October 29-31, 2021.

Tickets for this year's festival, according to organizers, will be valid for next year. Refunds will also be made available until May 17, 2020.
