Music Festival News

It seems that after a good start to 2009 the credit crunch has taken another festival casualty and this one is a little larger. A few weeks ago we mentioned a new festival that went free and then got cancelled. That festival was new and just didn’t get of the ground.

This festival is one that a lot of people will have already heard of, The Homecoming Festival. This festival was to take place on saturday2nd and Sunday 3rd of May in Irvine Scotland, This festival has now been cancelled.

The festival organisers have released the following statement.

“It is with great regret that organisers of the Homecoming festival have announced that this year’s event has been cancelled.

This is due to new demands from the council requesting 50% of the profits and a £60,000 bond on the land.

All ticket holders will be entitled to a full refund, and arrangements are currently being made to organise new venues and dates for some of the artists that were scheduled to perform at Homecoming 09.”
