A series of events has lead to GRAMMY award eater Skrillex cancelling his much anticipated 2013 Full Flex Express train tour in Canada.

The one half of Dog Blood (other half being Boys Noize) who dropped new material at Ultra appears to have been hit with a combination of booking issues and possible late unorganised formalities that has ultimately lead the train festival off the tracks. Skrillex released the following statement on both the Full Flex Express website and his personal Facebook fan page.

“It is with huge disappointment that we have to announce the Full Flex Express will not be happening in 2013. During the past 4 months we lost the train we had booked, found a new one, and then realized the cost associated with using it would put us at a huge, huge loss. We explored every option to make the Full Flex Express happen but ultimately we could not get around these setbacks. Also, some of the acts we had in mind were unavailable and we only wanted to deliver the best of the best, which is what we think this festival should deliver. The train is near and dear to my heart, and we have every intention of bringing it back in a massive way in 2014 (and for many years after), so please understand that we do this for you and this is just an unfortunate convergence of circumstances.”

So this isn’t the end of a festival, this is the long wait for it’s next departure from platform party times in 2014. Toot toot
