Authorities in Austin in the U.S., vetoed the performance of Lady Gaga at the South By Southwest festival (SXSW), held for the second year in the city.
According to Austin360 site, the pop star would appear in a stage in a giant machine snacks, sponsored by Doritos, within a parking lot of Carmelo's Italian restaurant. This same stage had been set up last year, in which they presented the rappers LL Cool J, Ice Cube and Public Enemy.
However, the city decided to prevent the installation of the stage this year citing "concerns about public safety." "We observed the size and capacity of the site for which permission was requested and expected to allocate public based on capacity and promoting the event, and we conclude that in the end, it's a lot," says an excerpt from the official statement.
Despite this decision, the city supports a performance of Lady Gaga, since it happens in a place with the permission and frame necessary. The traditional festival SXSW will start next week.
