Three major country music festivals have been canceled in 2016 with little-to-no explanation provided.
Most recently, Dega Jam, set to take place on July 4 weekend at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, was axed. The racetrack's director of public relations told FOX411 the festival's production company provided no reason except it was a "business decision."
"[The festival's production company] FPI, their group is the one that decided to cancel, because of [a] business reason they were not going to do it," Russell Branham told FOX411 Country.
He added, "We're disappointed and surprised because it was going to be another weekend event here at the racetrack."
Fans expressed their disappointment over the cancellation on Twitter.

The economy is in the dumpster.
The target market for these events half of them young white hip hop gansta wanna be's the other half strung out on heroin meth. Be honest about the cesspool we call America these days
Prob because country music SUUUUCKs lol
Festivals are overpriced these days
Many people love country music. Young and old alike...I think it's the economy as well. The insurance for this type of venue has probably skyrocketed and all the other overhead that goes with it.
Country music does not suck, I think it's very good, however, these concerts are ridiculously high to attend and people just can't do it.

I'm inclined to believe, as you, that it's insurance. It's absolutely no telling what the greedy nefarious insurance companies are wanting to sign off on one of these shows. We live in such a litigious society today and can all thank our self-sustaining justice system for that.
It is over the fear of Fans showing up waving the Confederate flag.
The economy is great in some places but the eastern shore and MD are not those places.
probably because country music brings out politically incorrect confederate flag waving true Americans and the liberals cant stand that
