The promoter of a weekend musical festival outside St. John’s has cancelled the event, dashing the hopes of fans of pop superstar Ke$ha and other performers.

Rockin’ The Upper East Side was to have been a 10-hour outdoor concert in Mount Pearl on Sunday, but promoter David Carver Concerts said Wednesday it was cancelled.

The promoter did not provide a reason, although it’s known that organizers were concerned about whether Hurricane Earl would affect the event, which had been planned for the field near the Mount Pearl Glacier.

“A further statement regarding the cancellation will be issued later this week,” a company statement said.

David Carver Concerts said ticket holders could obtain full refunds starting Friday from the point of purchase, or at selected stores.

In addition to Ke$ha, the bill included the Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Kardinal Offishall, Lifehouse and Christa Borden.
