Lady Gaga Denied Permit For SXSW Show
. According to Austin360.com, Don Pitts, manager of the City of Austin Music & Entertainment, put the official kibosh on a proposed Gaga performance at the Dorito's Stage in the parking lot of Carmelo's Italian restaurant. This doesn't mean that Gaga isn't welcome in Austin or at SXSW though, it just simply means the city doesn't feel the proposed venue and location would be ample and safe to host all the Little Monsters, plus the music industry and fans attending the festival. "Our conclusion was based primarily on public safety concerns," Pitts said in an email statement. "As part of the review process the applicant provides a talent list to the city team (AFD, APD, ATCEMS and Office of Special Events) to review and we can adjust public resources as needed. We look at the size and capacity of the location covered by the permit being sought and how it fits with the anticipated attendance, based on event capacity and promotion. At the end of the day, it's a parking lot." more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
