We are aware of online reports regarding attendee injuries or fatalities during Wicked Oaks this past weekend. According to information shared with event organizers by Austin-Travis County EMS, there were 2 hospital transports on Saturday and 5 on Sunday. Austin-Travis County EMS was on standby and on-site throughout the weekend, working alongside our licensed medical teams. EMS has advised they are not aware of any deaths or critical patients among those transported from the festival.

We are also aware of a tragic vehicle accident in the Bastrop area, involving individuals traveling home after the event. It is our current understanding that a truck ran a red light and caused the wreck. With the family's permission, we can share that the individual who passed away was Anthony Pike. Details of Anthony's Celebration of Life event in Dallas will be shared soon. Our community is small, and losses like this are felt deeply. We are profoundly saddened by this tragedy and extend our heartfelt condolences to Anthony's family, friends, and all who are affected.

Severe storms affected multiple parts of the weekend:

• Friday, October 24 - Due to forecasts of heavy rain and lightning, and possible hail and flash flooding Wicked Oaks delayed the opening of camping.
  Attendees who secured alternate Friday-night hotel lodging due to the delay may request reimbursement by emailing an itemized receipt to contact@wickedoaksfest.com by Friday, October 31 at midnight.
• Saturday, October 25 - Doors were delayed three hours at the direction of local authorities due to possible inclement weather and opened at 5:00 PM once conditions cleared. An unexpected severe storm developed at 10:00 PM, prompting a site-wide evacuation. Ground conditions following the storm prevented a safe reopening that night.
• Sunday, October 26 - With help from local partners, weather-related damage was mitigated to the best of our ability, and a FREE shuttle service was added from Circuits of America because most parking areas were unusable. The event reopened after a one-hour delay and operated safely for the remainder of the day.

We know the weather interruptions were frustrating and disappointing. Our team worked around the clock to salvage as much of the weekend as possible while keeping people safe.

All qualifying refunds will be issued to the original form of payment:

• Saturday Single-Day Tickets - Full Refund
• Two-Day Tickets - 50% Refund
• Campers - Friday hotel reimbursement - email room receipt to contact@wickedoaksfest.com by Friday, October 31 at midnight.
• Enchanted Overnight Parking - 50% Refund
• Saturday Shuttles - Full Refund

We are working closely with our multiple ticket providers to finalize the refund timeline. Because many guests purchased through payment plans, the process is more complex and requires coordination across several platforms. We understand the time, money, and planning that goes into a festival weekend. We are committed to resolving this quickly and will update everyone as soon as possible.

Safety guides every decision we make on-site. Our medical teams, security, and production staff work from a coordinated plan designed with local partners and licensed emergency providers.

Thank you to our guests, staff, vendors, artists, and community partners for their patience and support throughout an unpredictable weekend.

We will continue sharing verified updates as needed.
