Sum 41, Circa Survive announce Ohio shows after canceled Disrupt date
Yesterday, Rockstar Disrupt Festival quietly canceled their upcoming stop in Columbus, Ohio three days out. Earlier today, Andy Black, Juliet Simms and Hyro The Hero announced an Ohio pop-up gig, and now Sum 41 and Circa Survive are doing the same.
Shortly after Black and Simms announced their Cincinnati show, Circa Survive announced they were rerouting to Cleveland for a set at the Phantasy the same day, July 13.

The band shared the update to social media with a ticket link. At this time no openers have been announced but tickets are on sale for $20 advance and $23 at the door.
The promoter, BravoArtist, shared in the Facebook event that it’s due to the festival’s cancellation and that a limited amount of tickets are available. Check out remaining tickets here.

A few hours later, Sum 41 followed suit with a show in Columbus at the Newport Music Hall.

Like Circa Survice, Sum 41 haven’t revealed any openers at this time. However, Disrupt Fest tourmate, Sleeping With Sirens frontman Kellin Quinn, replied to the post with “We’re in.” So either Columbus is getting an epic pop-up with Sum 41 and SWS, or Quinn will be rocking out with the rest of us. Tickets are on sale here.
We’re in!

Three days ago, a thread appeared on Reddit’s r/poppunkers discussing a rumor that the date was going to get canceled. The original poster cited low turnout at many of the other dates that had already taken place.
“Rumor that Disrupt Fest in Columbus, Ohio on 7/13 is going to be canceled. [Has] a traveling festival like this ever flopped as bad as this one has before? I know this wasn’t exactly the best line up, but yikes even I’m surprised just how terrible the crowds for it are.”

User makearunforitx stated, “I still haven’t heard a single good thing about this festival” While user PopPunkTeacher pointed out, “I mean, between warped events and sad summer fest (which has a much better lineup imo). Only so much money to go around.”
Yesterday afternoon, fans took to the Columbus event page to follow up on the rumors of the cancellation, with one user asking, “Hearing from multiple people that this date is getting canceled. Can we get an official update?!”
Fans noticed the date was removed from the website, and the cancellation emails followed shortly after. The Columbus cancellation follows Disrupt Festival moving the July 3 Toronto date from Budweiser Stage to a smaller venue, RBC Echo Stage, days prior. The change upset many fans who paid for higher tier tickets.

Several days later, Circa Survive revealed the Bristow, Virginia stop July 9 was canceled days ahead. Neither the band nor festival gave any reason for the cancellation.
