However, a statement on ticket website Skiddle says: "Unfortunately, due to poor ticket sales, we have been forced to cancel (Big Day Out Preston)."
No acts had been confirmed for the 'family-friendly' event, which was due to take place on August 11 at Moor Park.

The organisers have been contacted for comment.
