Article Excerpt: “It saddens me to have to explore alternative sites,” said Morris in a statement released today. “The residents of the City Park area have been wonderful to work with and representatives from the City have been very open to our proposal. The music festival itself would’ve raised millions of dollars for this beautiful park and the surrounding neighborhoods. Having began dialogue with the Zoo staff in early September, it is extremely disappointing they’ve waited this long to announce their position. We have said from day one that unless the Zoo blesses the event, we cannot have the festival in this location.”

Article Excerpt: When promoter Chuck Morris had the kibosh put on his plan for the Mile High Music and Arts Festival in City Park, some thought that was the end. Not so fast. “All I can say is there will be a festival, the biggest thing we’ve ever been involved in in Denver,” he says. “And it will be in an open space as originally planned.” Tom Petty and Dave Matthews are rumored headliners for the two-day festival in July, “but no acts have been confirmed,” Morris says.
