When the producers of Langerado canceled this year’s festival in February we had a sinking feeling that was the end of the road for the annual event. Our friends at Consequence of Sound tipped us to an interview with Langerado co-founder Ethan Schwartz that puts the final nail in the festival’s coffin…
Over beers at Davie’s Ye Olde Falcon Pub, Schwartz put to rest rumors of a 2010 Langerado (to be held out in the Everglades again, according to the Internet grapevine), saying that the festival was “probably” gone for good. While he insisted that he isn’t done promoting and producing shows in South Florida, he quickly added that he’d like to do shows all over the state as well as his new home state, which, to these jaded ears, sounded suspiciously like he’d be bringing bands to, say, Atlanta, Orlando or Tampa, rather than down here.

Good luck to Ethan and godspeed to the music fans of South Florida.
