I am looking on the site and see no indication of it being cancelled anywhere but in Chicago and St. Louis. Am I looking at the right site?? www.mekkatour.com
But what really sucks is that even if it isn't cancelled in Los Angeles....it is on a 'n Sunday!! What the hell were they thinking. Guess my only option is to fly up to San Francisco for the Sat. event. |

I hope that's not a trend. |

This is the official release!
MEKKA SUMMER TOUR POSTPONED
New York, NY – August 1, 2001 - After a lengthy and difficult deliberation, Mekka Entertainment today announced that it will postpone its summer tour, set to kick off this Saturday August 4th in Detroit.
The postponement comes after months of preparation. As the tour approached it became apparent that despite hard work and co-operation and support from people across North America, Mekka would not be able to present the events at the level it had envisioned. The Mekka collective cites numerous reasons for the postponement, the most immediate being time for planning.
“It’s impossible to put the blame on anyone, it’s no one’s fault” said a Mekka spokesperson yesterday. “Everyone on the team has put their hearts into making this happen, but when it came down to it we just didn’t give ourselves enough time to put it together. The team is an amazing collection of people, who have all been completely dedicated. While the concept’s been under development for over a year, the actual production and promotion of the tour started too late.”
While the decision to postpone the tour was a surprise to most, Mekka is encouraged by the response it has had from its partners and supporters in the community. “Our model is artist based – we did not want to go ahead with the tour as we saw that the talent would not be presented in a way that they deserved,” says Mekka’s talent director. “The agents, managers, and promoters we’ve worked with along the way see that this decision is for the best, and they’ve made clear that they’ll support us with our plans for the future.”
Mekka outlined that the postponement of the tour does not hinder future plans, including music production, more events, a community website and more. “We’ve had tremendous support from everyone,” said the Mekka spokesperson. “You just have to go onto the website or look in the papers to see that the community really wanted this to happen, and they were behind the concept all the way. What’s made this decision particularly difficult is that we know we’re disappointing so many people, but we’ll keep working to give something to this amazing community.”
Mekka would like to thank the artists and agents, regional promoters, the media, and the electronic music community for their support through the development of this project. Many artists and management agencies have committed to fulfilling Mekka’s vision to produce a tour of this magnitude in North America in the summer of 2002.
People who have already purchased tickets are advised to return to the point of purchase for full guaranteed refund. |

It sucks that's it's over before it even started! Oh well!
I don't know about what is going on up there in Toronto, but here in Miami, Mekka was going to be on August 11th and from what I heard, we are going to have something go on planned at the same venue, just not Mekka. Hopefully, every city gets lucky and has at least something to do that day (or whenever Mekka was supposed to happen).
And I was looking forward to see Oakenfold so bad.....:sadgreen:
Take care everyone!
