Beastie's cancellations affect other festivals as well, including New Jersey’s All Points West, San Francisco’s Outside Lands, Montreal’s Osheaga and Texas’ Austin City Limits. Lollapalooza is the first to find an alternative.

Front Gate Tickets Making Money off Beastie Boy's Cancer!!!
http://www3.timeoutny.com/chicago/blog/out-and-about/2009/07/front-gate-tickets-...
In the wake of the cancellation of the Aug. 6 Beastie Boys show at the Congress Theater due to MCA’s cancer diagnosis, Austin, Texas-based Front Gate Tickets sent a notice today to ticket buyers:
A base ticket refund is available to all ticket purchasers. If you ordered your ticket with a credit card, then you will automatically receive a refund. Please allow 1-5 business days for processing and for the refund to post to your account. If you paid for your ticket with cash, then you must return the ticket to FRONT GATE TICKETS by mail.
I got the note because I’d purchased four tickets to the show. The “base ticket” line smelled a bit fishy to me, so I called Front Gate’s customer service line and found out the company intends to hang onto every cent of its service charges for the 86′d show–a whopping $36.40 for those of us who ordered four.

hmm..... you think they would have got someone who at least plays the same style as the beastie boys, maybe a rapper or more aggressive rock. YYYs are a quality band though
