Music fans say they're feeling cheated, some even say devastated after shelling out big bucks for bands they never got to see.

Two of the biggest acts slated to perform this weekend at the River City Music Festival in Bellevue never took the stage.

"I spent $140. I bought VIP tickets,” Ben Baldwin told WOWT 6 News.

Baldwin was hoping to see acts like Keller Williams and George Clinton Saturday night, but when he showed up to Sokol Park those acts were nowhere to be found.

"I definitely feel like I spent a lot more money than I should have for sure,” Baldwin said.

By Sunday evening, virtually any evidence of social media pages and websites tied to the event were gone, which has left fans who wanted to have their voices heard even more frustrated

Some fans told WOWT 6 News that the River City Music Festival posted a statement apologizing to fans on Facebook, but now the page and statement are nowhere to be found. For upset fans, the focus turned to the promoter in charge of the event.

"I just don't think he made enough money to cover the cost of the bands,” said Baldwin.

Singer Keller Williams says the producers failed to uphold the contract. Williams’ statement reads in part: "My team and I had to follow our guts and pay attention to the red flags that the producers started to raise."

Fans said another headlining act, George Clinton, was a no-show without any warning. Even on his Facebook page, there's no mention from him about cancelling.

While Baldwin says he was satisfied with the performances that did show up, he still has one request:

"I'd definitely like to have my money back, but I know that's never going to happen. So, I've just kind of accepted it,” he said.

Fans tell us the promoter is from the group Live Entertainment. WOWT 6 News reached out to the company, but has not yet received a response. The URL to the River City Music Fest was broken late Sunday.

Sokol Park Owner Brandon Miller released the following statement Sunday: "Sokol Park gets rented out to different entities for different events every weekend. Sometimes it's a wedding, company picnic, concert, or a festival. River City Music Festival was an outside promoter using our facility. It is extremely unfortunate how things turned out for everyone involved. The fans, bands, staff, our venue, and the promoter all walked away with their expectations unfulfilled. We hope everyone can find compassion and forgiveness for the promoter and that they give the park and one of our many other events a chance! God Bless!"
