GRiZ to Relocate His Seven Stars Festival After Learning Current Site Was Once a Plantation

GRiZ says he will find a new location for his Seven Stars festival after learning the event’s current site was once a plantation. So, What Was GRiZ Doing During All That Time Off? ‘I Just Needed to Figure Out Who I Am to Me’ The second edition of Seven Stars happened earlier this month, Oc. 9-11, at Oak Ridge Estate & Farm in Arrington, Virginia. In a statement posted to social media on Thursday (Oct. 29), the producer noted that his team was previously made aware of the site’s history and consulted with educators at the University of Virginia on the issue, but that the issue was never brought to him. “I had naively assumed that if an issue of this weight arose, it would be brought to my attention,” says the artist born Grant Kwiecinski. “But true leadership does not allow for deflecting of accountability. This responsibility for what happens under my name sits squarely on my shoulders. This fell on my watch, and the failure is entirely mine.” He continues that Seven Stars will not return to Oakridge Farm and that he and his team “are taking an intentional hiatus to search for a new home.
