Beachdown Festival Cancelled

• 27th Aug 2009

Organisers of Beachdown Festival have announced that this year’s event has been cancelled.

The festival was due to take place in Sussex on the 28th – 31st August, and was due to feature Super Fury Animals, Grace Jones and The Zutons.

The reasons given for the cancellation are “slower than forecasted ticket sales and lack of support at a critical time from our bank and certain suppliers”.

A statement on Beachdownfestival.com says, “Very simply we were unable to meet demands that the current economic climate put against us at the eleventh hour despite having most of the infrastructure in place we have been forced to cancel the event.

“We also wish to advise everyone that we explored every possible avenue to finance the event including re-mortgaging our houses to combat the unwillingness of banks to support us.”

Ticket holders are advised to seek information from the outlet that they purchased the ticket from and to keep checking Beachdownfestival.com for more information from organisers.
