A message from CMJ Chairman Robert K. Haber said, “In light of this devastating incident, we have decided to postpone the CMJ Music Marathon and FilmFest.” He goes on to say that “We realize this change may pose a logistical challenge for many of you and CMJ will do everything possible to minimize any problems that may result. Accordingly, please continue to check www.cmj.com for all relevant information.”

Hundreds of artists were scheduled to perform at a number of clubs in New York City during the convention. Some shows originally scheduled may go on as scheduled, however, access to these events will no longer be complimentary to CMJ registrants.

New artist showcase schedules will be announced as they are arranged.

For those who had already made travel arrangements, some airlines are offering ticket rescheduling and/or refunds. All existing CMJ registrations will remain valid on the new dates.
