Alex Warren Reveals Truth Behind Sommo Festival Exit, Blames Misinformation for Fan Uproar

Alex Warren Speaks Out on Sommo Festival Cancellation, Citing Mental Health Needs and Festival Misrepresentation Musician Alex Warren has released a candid video addressing his recent cancellation from the Sommo Festival, clarifying that his withdrawal was due to a pre-requested mental health break, not a conflicting "bigger and better" commitment as allegedly stated by the festival. Warren, who has been touring extensively, explained that he sought a week off four weeks prior to the festival to attend therapy and spend time with family. "I just wanted a week off where I could go see a therapist, where I could spend time with my family," Warren stated in his video, expressing the toll of constant touring. He emphasized that he was willing to incur financial losses for this much-needed break. However, Warren claims the festival later posted that he had a "commitment" and booked something more lucrative, and even allegedly liked hate comments and direct messaged fans with this false information. "That's not the case, it's not true," he asserted, visibly frustrated. "I'm baffled by this." Warren apologized to his fans, especially those in PEI, for the confusion and miscommunication. He reiterated that he had no prior knowledge of the festival's public statements and would have tried to adjust his schedule if he knew the situation would be misrepresented. The incident highlights the ongoing conversation around mental health in the entertainment industry and the responsibilities of event organizers in communicating with artists and their audiences.
