Is still uncertain the fate of Creamfields 2009


No date scheduled, the fact is that at this point it is uncertain whether the festival will take place or not. City Government said, “To provide it's impossible the allotments to meet the original date (Saturday, 7 November)”
Arrangers still do not provide official information to clarify the situation, For their part. Although it is expected that on Monday the company will issue a statement with the final decision.
It all began on Wednesday when the city’s government denied the company Edil Way SA authorization to carry out the festival at Club Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires (GEBA). The government considers that the company was in breach of current regulations regarding permits.
One of the main problems was the lack of a sketch detailing the distribution of the public. Also staff of the Governmental Control Agency found that tickets were sold online even without enabling permissions.
In turn the Association of Friends of Palermo Lakes questioned the city government for allowing the progress, as the Parque Tres de Febrero is a Historic Protected Area and a Neighborhood Park District.
For many years the organization of Creamfields in Buenos Aires was in charge of Martin Gonta, who was featured on the British film magazine DJMag as an “alchemist” of today’s electronic scene because he is “the most powerful man in South American dance music.”
His organization is a huge production work: not only related to the allotments, security and controls, but also because the festival receives important foreign DJs. Perhaps their names are not popular, but they move masses, as Orbital, Armin Van Buren and David Guetta, among many others. Many of these DJs will also participate in Creamfields Chile, which is announced for Friday.
On Internet forums, fans of this music were stunned. Many were shocked by the carelessness of the organizers and others criticized the venue.
