Seattle concert promoter USC Events has been known to have a history of nonpayment issues, but they’ve come to a head this past week. Industry giant Insomniac - who has previously partnered with USC Events’ parent company to put on the festival Paradiso - is now serving a lawsuit for misuse of funding, and terminating the contract that previously allowed both companies to work together. The lawsuit claims that USC Events has “failed to adequately explain what happened to the advance payments” (John Cameron, EDM.com). In order to make up for this rift, however, Insomniac will be trying to put on an independent festival at the same venue that Paradiso is held.
