Yea they've been downplaying this on the Facebook page. They don't seem worried and said Nateva isn't going to be cancelled or anything. Hopefully everything works out for the best.
Best thing about that article IMO was this news:
There will be three stages in the campground area, one with music from late morning until 7 each night, then again from midnight until 3 a.m.; an acoustic stage from midnight to 3 a.m.; and a family stage.

I don't think they are down playing as much as they might not of been aware that the property was in both towns. The DEP issue is Storm run off from a new area that was cleared I think that is pretty standard stuff with project development... so I think the "you don't know what you don't know" debate is a good angle on this one and they get a pass from me.... we shouldn't worry our heads over permits and laws and stuff on this little forum, it's all about the music at this point. I liked the new stage info but I can't say enough about a well maintained port-a-potty for a whole three to four days...

I meant that they are downplaying the "Nateva Festival will not happen this year" vibe that the original article and some posters on Facebook had. It does seem like they were unaware of the permits needed or something like that. Either way....only 49 more days! |

I believe they had purchased a 7 acre chunk of land from the town of Norway, or someone who owned land in Norway. This purchase happened well after all the other permits had been filed for and apparently it was a small over-sight. As Frank said early on in this deal, being a first year event there will be small hiccups, but they will do everything to ensure the highest quality product for their customers. This is not a big deal, Norway wants to be part of this event too, its only a $100 permit, nothing Frank and crew can't handle. Even if they didnt get the permit, they simply wouldnt use the small chunk of land in Norway.

It takes a lot of work to put on a festival. |

That article says that there would be camping for 7000 on site, I thought it was 15000?

They have room for around 7,000 campers on-site. Their permit allows a maximum of 14,999 people on-site at any given time, that is where the 15,000 came from. So in theory they could sell 8,000 or so more passes w/o camping but I doubt they will sell that many off-site.
