Your chance to see Hanson, Butthole Surfers and Bobby Womack take the stage at the Sunset Junction Festival, August 27 and 28, could be hanging in the balance if organizers don't cough up fees from last year's festival, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Organizers are already selling tickets. But the city is withholding permits that would allow the show to go on, until the festival pays back $267,000 in fees for police staffing and police closures from last year's event.
The organizers complain that they're being charged steeper rates than other festivals like Venice's Abbot Kinney Festival and the Eagle Rock Music Festival.
Community members complained last year that the festival - and tardy street-sweepers - left their neighborhood a mess.
