A statement from organisers read: “The organizers wish to express their deep appreciation to all the fans who supposed the festival since day one, as well as the sponsors and the media partners.”
This was the first time the Lollapalooza festival was due to take place in Colombia on September 17th and 18th and other acts on the line-up included Lana Del Rey and Wiz Kalifa.
Festival goers who had purchased tickets would all be given full refunds, organisers said.
The Zika virus is a mosquito-spread virus linked to brain defects in newborn babies and is considered especially dangerous for pregnant women.
Despite the World Health Organisation stating that Zika posed a ‘very low risk’ to participants of the upcoming Olympic Games in Rio, many sports stars have pulled out of representing their countries and decided not to compete due to health fears.
