Lodestar Festival Cancelled
Artist:
The Rakes
Lodestar festival, set to take place in Cambridgeshire between 31st August and 2nd September, has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
Organisers are blaming the recent bad weather for lack of sales, telling BBC 6 Music: "Despite a tremendous amount of effort in marketing the festival, unfortunately, we were battling against all the pictures and reports about the dreadful weather we’ve been having this year.
"Well, ticket sales were fairly low, and totally reflective of the weather up until today. The weather might have turned around, but it’s really come too late for LodeStar.
"As director I had the responsibility of considering everybody involved with supplying services for the festival, and it was a judgement based on where we stand today."
The festival was due to host performances from the likes of The Rakes, Idlewild and Badly Drawn Boy.
