Dang! No BANG! This year's BANG! Music Festival-- previously planned for November 10-11 at Miami's Bayfront Park Amphitheatre-- is off. So no dice for two days of uncomfortable sunburns, Rick Ross sightings, and such fest-makers as Spoon, Kanye West, the Roots, the Smashing Pumpkins, Explosions in the Sky, and Chromeo in the Magic City this time 'round.

The festival's website claims the show has been "postponed"-- and therefore, scholars of rhetoric, not "cancelled"-- so perhaps there's hope for regrouping in the BANG! camp soon. In the meantime, tickets can be refunded at the point of purchase.

Thanks to reader Martin Keane for the tip.
