By Steve Rhodes
“AAHH! Fest won’t be rocking Union Park this month as organizers say they’ve had a ‘very demanding year,'” the Tribune reports.
“The West Side festival, which featured comedian Dave Chappelle and Chicago natives Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Jennifer Hudson last year, will return in September 2016, fest spokeswoman Micaeh Johnson said in an e-mail to the Tribune. Auditions slated to be held this month were canceled.”
