Another cancellation, but actually not tied to House Bill 2 this time: The Sun Ra Arkestra has scratched its appearance at May’s Moogfest in Durham. Festival director Marisa Brickman confirmed the move this afternoon, citing the outfit’s choice to take a European tour instead. Now, if only there were going to be some more jazz at another festival in Durham in May…

Moogfest announced the rest of its sizable schedule earlier this week.

Hat tip to occasional INDY contributor Justin Weber for spotting the Arkestra’s absence.
