Bunbury Music Festival has decided to cancel its 2021 installment, officials announced Monday.
The music festival that takes place along the banks of the Ohio River has been canceled twice now due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 2020 iteration was supposed to feature Twenty One Pilots, the Avett Brothers, Marshmello, Melanie Martinez and a dozen other artists.
"Bunbarians, it was our hope that the big picture would look very differently by this stage, but unfortunately it is with the safety and wellbeing of our fans, artists and staff in mind that we have chosen to postpone our plans for the next installment of Bunbury Music Festival," officials announced.

Officials said based on projections, it would not be safe to host the music festival in June.
"Canceling once, let alone twice, is the last thing we want to do," officials said. "We’ll continue to look for guidance from health officials at all levels and we ask all of you to stay safe and healthy."
