Treasure Island Music Festival will not take place this fall, but the event will return with the same name at a new location in 2018, organizers announced on Wednesday, June 28. Treasure Island’s co-promoters, Noise Pop Industries and Another Planet Entertainment, spent much of the last year searching for alternate spaces in Alameda, Oakland and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, which already hosts the annual Outside Lands and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass multi-day music festivals. Despite the change in scenery, the promoters are determined to keep the Treasure Island experience largely the same with more than two dozen indie acts playing music on a pair of adjacent stages with no overlapping sets and the laid-back atmosphere of a backyard barbecue. “It will still be the music festival for people who don’t like going to music festivals,” Kurland said. The outdoor event launched in 2007, marking the first time live music was played for the public on Treasure Island since the Golden Gate International Exposition closed nearly 70 years earlier. Heavy winds and rain delayed or completely washed out sets by several acts over the weekend, prompting many angry ticket holders to threaten a class-action lawsuit against Another Planet and Noise Pop for claiming a “rain or shine” event though not all the artists advertised performed. [...] rather than starting fresh next year with a new name, the promoters have decided to stick with the Treasure Island brand they built with memorable performances by the likes of the National, Massive Attack, Beck, LCD Soundsystem, Death Cab For Cutie and countless others.
