\n\tThe statement goes on to note that organizers \u201care also aware of a tragic vehicle accident in the Bastrop area, involving individuals traveling home after the event,\u201d that killed one person, Anthony Pike, after \u201ca truck ran a red light and caused the wreck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur community is small, and losses like this are felt deeply,\u201d the statement continues. \u201cWe are profoundly saddened by this tragedy and extend our heartfelt condolences to Anthony\u2019s family, friends, and all who are affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWicked Oaks organizers also acknowledged the severe weather that impacted all three days of the festival \u2014 including a \u201csevere storm\u201d that struck around 10 p.m. on Saturday, prompting \u201ca site-wide evacuation\u201d and forcing the festival to shut down for the remainder of the evening \u2014 and offered refund and reimbursement information for impacted attendees.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe festival says it\u2019s offering a full refund to attendees who held Saturday single-day tickets; a 50% refund to two-day ticket holders; a hotel reimbursement for campers who had to secure alternate lodging on Friday when forecasts of heavy rain and lightning delayed the opening of the festival\u2019s campgrounds; a 50% refund for attendees who paid to park in the festival\u2019s Enchanted Overnight Parking areas, after the festival\u2019s parking lots were deemed \u201cunusable\u201d on Sunday following rainstorms; and a full refund for attendees who paid to ride festival shuttles on Saturday. All qualifying refunds will be issued to the original form of payment.<\/p>\n

\n\tFestival organizers instruct those requesting a hotel reimbursement to email an itemized receipt to contact@wickedoaksfest.com by midnight on Friday (Oct. 31).<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are working closely with our multiple ticket providers to finalize the refund timeline,\u201d the festival\u2019s statement continues. \u201cBecause many guests purchased through payment plans, the process is more complex and requires coordination across several platforms. We understand the time, money, and planning that goes into a festival weekend. We are committed to resolving this quickly and will update everyone as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPerformers at Wicked Oaks included Martin Garrix<\/a>, Eric Prydz<\/a>, Bob Moses<\/a>, Kaskade<\/a>, Cloonee and Nightmre.<\/p>\n
