In November 2018, Live Nation announced that the Jamboree in the Hills would be going on hiatus and would not take place in 2019 as it began negotiations regarding the event's future. Local officials in Belmont County noted that the site was atypical of Live Nation's other concerts and that the event's BYOB policy deprived Live Nation of a major source of revenue. Live Nation had attempted to end the BYOB policy for the 2017 event, which was to be renamed "Jambo Country," but fan backlash led to the reversal of the decision and renaming within days of its announcement.[1]
