Organizers of the 2020 Sonic Revolution fan convention have confirmed to TSSZ the event has been cancelled, citing continued concerns with safety.

The confirmation follows a message posted to Revolution’s social media channels this evening announcing the cancellation. It comes after organizers attempted to work around current stay-at-home orders and bans on large gatherings in California that do not appear to be going away any time soon in an effort to stop the spread of novel coronavirus.

Here's a very important announcement about this year's Sonic Revolution Event. Due to the current circumstances, the Sonic Revolution Team has come to a decision that Sonic Revolution 2020 has been postponed indefinitely until a new date is determined for next year. pic.twitter.com/HQ590gTIuA

The event was to take place in June. Tyson Hesse was to be the event’s marquee guest, along with a host of other community names. Some guests had dropped out prior to today’s announcement.

In Los Angeles County, where host city Whittier lies, a ban of gatherings of more than 10 people went into effect in March. On Friday, the order’s expiration was extended to May 15th. Health officials have indicated the likelihood it would be extended into the Summer, which would have made holding the convention untenable.

Before today’s announcement, organizers had announced it would cut tickets for sale in half in an effort to adhere to CDC-recommended guidelines on social distancing at the venue.

As of 3PM ET Saturday, Los Angeles county has recorded 265 deaths from 8,873 cases of COVID-19.

As indicated in the above Tweet, work will now begin on bringing back Sonic Revolution for Sonic’s 30th anniversary in 2021. Tickets purchased for this year’s event will be valid for next year.

A poor choice, driven by the wind of lies of the lamestream media. I deal in data analytics in health care in one of the largest rehab networks in the Midwest and we grow sick and tired of the news blowing it out of proportion. We have seen hundreds of recoveries go untallied and unaccounted when they are submitted to the state governments. We then only go on to see them ignore those while counting deaths for people who die of primarily other complications who happened to also have coronavirus/COVID-19 at the time of passing. Sickening and misleading and us health care professionals are getting showered with freebies, which are admittedly nice, but these politically motivated restrictions and lies need to stop, full stop. It is actually doing very little to curb the national mortality rate and causing more havoc and hysteria for the course of life. Write to your politicians and tell them to cease with their politicalization and misinformation.

By the way, the World Health Organization is a huge joke and wants health professionals to count people who likely have flu and cold at time of death towards the COVID-19 count under the presumption of a remote possibility. It is goes against everything employees were trained and taught medically and statistically and they are wanting people to play into their political numbers game. Meanwhile, there is a very high probability from what we are seeing based on the differentials that COVID-19 already hit the Midwest as early as January and most people already had it with mild cases or were asymptomatic. Everyone is being played here, including us health professionals, and we will be happy once it is all over. I really feel for the small businesses who are ending up as the real casualties. If only people showed this amount of concern for texting and driving, alcoholism, smoking, or abortion, which have much higher death rates worldwide.
