Apparently due to the credit crunch Wax:On has been cancelled after an investor pulled out it was to late to get someone else in on time.

The festival which was meant to be taking place in leeds on May 31st was going to have people performing such as Primal Scream and Green Velvet. People will be gutted about this as it was looking good as something a little different and it was in the north. If i find out any more ill update this post.

In the mean time fingers crossed this is a one off and non of the larger festivals fall foul to this!
