The Country Thunder Alberta 2026 music festival, which was set to take place in Calgary from June 26–28, was abruptly cancelled just two days before the opening act.
原訂於2026年6月26日至28日在卡加里舉辦的「鄉村雷霆亞伯達（Country Thunder Alberta 2026）」音樂節，在開幕前兩天突然宣布取消。
Organizers pointed to insurmountable challenges, including ongoing construction, traffic limitations, and strict new noise regulations, which they claimed prevented them from delivering a world-class experience.
主辦單位指出面臨難以克服的挑戰，包括持續的建設工程、交通受限以及嚴格的新噪音法規。
In contrast, the City of Calgary expressed shock at the news.
他們聲稱這些因素使其無法提供世界級的活動體驗。
Mayor Jeromy Farkas noted that city officials had met with festival organizers hours earlier, at which point the event team had approved the site safety and mitigation plans.
相對地，卡加里市政府對此消息感到震驚。
The Mayor argued that the cancellation was likely a business decision rather than a failure by the city.
卡加里市長傑若米·法卡斯（Jeromy Farkas）指出，市府官員在數小時前才與主辦方會面，當時活動團隊才剛批准了場地安全與緩解方案。
While the disagreement between organizers and local officials continues, the impact on fans is clear: all attendees are guaranteed an automatic, full refund for their tickets.
市長認為，此次取消更像是一項商業決策，而非政府方面的失誤。
Those who bought tickets via Front Gate Tickets can expect their money returned to their original payment method within 30 days.
儘管主辦方與當地官員之間的歧見仍在持續，但對歌迷的影響很明確：所有參與者皆保證能獲得全額退款。
Despite the sudden loss of this major event, both parties remain at odds over the true circumstances that led to the cancellation.
通過 Front Gate Tickets 購票的人預計將在30天內收到退回原付款帳戶的款項。
