Earlier this week, organizers believed the SweetWater 420 Fest scheduled for late April could proceed as planned.

But due to continued virus concerns, the April 24-26 music event at Centennial Olympic Park is being postponed, and possibly canceled, as well as the SweetWater 420 Fest 5K.

Festival organizers are evaluating if a rescheduled event is possible or if the weekend featuring a reunion of Oysterhead, as well as the Trey Anastasio Band, Cage the Elephant and dozens of other acts will be nixed until next year.

Fans who cannot attend a rescheduled date will receive a full refund (as will all ticket buyers if the festival is canceled). More information will be forthcoming by March 20.
