Blame it on the "down-loaders"

The upcoming 2004 edition of the Lollapalooza traveling rock festival, one of the marquee events of the summer U.S. concert season, was canceled on Tuesday due to weak ticket sales, organizers said. Boasting an eclectic but aging roster headlined by such alternative acts as Morrissey, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, the Flaming Lips, Pixies and Wilco, the tour succumbed to sluggish demand that has been dogging the concert industry as a whole, organizers and industry watchers said. Maybe they should blame it on music down-loaders, like the RIAA does on low CD sales. Or maybe it's just the cost and people don't want to pay??
