Middlelands will not return to Texas Renaissance Festival grounds in 2018
As rumors began circulating among the so-called “Middlelands Clan” across the Internet today, May 19, the inaugural group of festival attendees had their worst fears confirmed. According to a local news outlet, KHOU, Middlelands will not be returning to the Texas Renaissance Festival (TRF) grounds in 2018 amid noise complaints from local residents after this year’s (albeit magical) gathering. The venue issued the following statement earlier today:
“TRF is always looking for new ways to bring fun and magic to the Houston area, which is why we partnered with Insomniac, C3 Events and Live Nation, to create the Middlelands music festival on our grounds. Middlelands was a great success and brought over 60,000 people to the area from all over the country and the world. However, after a meeting with executive leadership and based on Texas Renaissance Festival’s overall mission, we’ve have made the decision to not move forward in hosting the event again.”
However, this isn’t the end of Middlelands if Pasquale has any say in the matter. The Insomniac founder took to his personal social media channels to tell another side of the story:
Only time will tell what the future holds for the past-influenced festival.
