The DJ says, “I am
completely devastated by this cancellation. I've never cancelled an
Armin Only show before, so I'm very upset to have to now.” (Read the whole announcement after the jump.)

official word from Monster Massive's organizers, Go Ventures, other than the two-day-old status update on its Facebook page claiming the 14-year-old event ”
Here's Van Buuren's announcement on his site:

Here's Erick Morillo's statement:
“For those of you that had bought tickets expecting to see me at
Monster Massive, what can I say, I think this is a blow for us all! I'd
heard so many great things about the Monster Massive shows and was
really looking forward to being a part of this Halloween extravaganza.
So to hear that we now have to cancel is a big upset to me. These
decisions are not made lightly and apologies to all those that had made
plans. I hope to see you all very soon”.<
