Following the sudden cancellation of Lucidity Festival and its organizers’ controversial decision not to offer refunds, ticket holders were left with no clear path forward.
However, in a generous act of support for the festival community, Same, same but different has decided to extend an offer: free general admission to its 2024 event at Lake Perris State Park. The owners of SSBD, an unaffiliated festival property, share no financial ties to Lucidity and are extending the offer simply as a gesture of goodwill, according to a press release shared with EDM.com.
Lucidity’s controversial cancellation came after months of delays and failed attempts to move the event to Monterey County, with organizers eventually ceasing operations due to financial pressures and logistical hurdles. The decision not to refund ticket holders sparked a significant backlash, leaving thousands of festival-goers in a difficult financial situation.
While Lucidity's collapse left a bitter taste, SSBD offers a lifeline.
“We know how difficult these times can be, especially when the festival experiences we all cherish don't go as planned,” reads a statement released by SSBD. “It's never easy when something you've been hoping for doesn't work out, and we understand how much time, energy and anticipation went into planning Lucidity.”
With a lineup of electronic music artists including Big Gigantic, Ganja White Night and LSDREAM, SSBD is letting everyone know that they are well positioned to welcome thousands of Lucidity ticket holders from September 27-29. The enchanting festival will also feature sunrise-to-sunset DJ sets, a Vegas-inspired pop-up casino experience, yoga sessions, mindfulness workshops and much more.
Fans looking to claim their free pass for SSBD 2024 can send this shape along with proof of purchase of your Lucidity ticket. Learn more about the festival here.
