Topline:
Nocturnal Wonderland, an electronic music festival that attracts tens of thousands of people to the Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino County, has been canceled due to the wildfires.
Why now: Insomniac, the Southern California based event organizers, announced Wednesday that flames are now approaching the Glen Helen Amphitheatre and they’re unable to proceed with the event.
Why it matters: Glen Helen sits between both the Bridge and Line fires, which has scorched more than 73,000 acres combined.
The backstory: The organizers said on social media Monday that they’ve been closely monitoring the situation and have been in contact with local authorities. Nocturnal Wonderland is the company’s longest-running festival.
What’s next: Insomniac added that it’ll share more information in the coming days on how the dance music community can support and give back to the firefighters and those affected by the fires. Insomniac didn’t immediately respond to LAist’s request for comment.
