We understand how disappointing this may be - Preston Live organisers cancel TWO days
Organisers of a three day music festival in Preston have announced that two days have been cancelled.
Preston Live music festival will not go ahead on Friday and Sunday at Showfield, Preston from July 25 to Sunday, July 27.
The popular festival which debuted last year with a headline performance by Jess Glynne, will now only proceed on the Saturday.
The cancellation is due to ticket sales not reaching the required level, rendering the event unviable.
A statement on the Preston Live Facebook page read: “It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of the Friday and Sunday dates of the Preston Live festival.
“Despite our team’s best efforts, circumstances beyond our control have made it necessary to adjust the event schedule.
“However, Saturday’s event is 100% going ahead as planned and promises to be an incredible day of live music, food and entertainment.”
It added: “All tickets for Friday and Sunday can be exchanged for Saturday at no extra cost. If you’re unable to attend Saturday and would prefer a refund, we will of course process this in full.
“Anyone who has purchased weekend or camping tickets will be entitled to a partial or full refund, depending on your booking.
“Our team will be in touch with further details, or you can contact us directly if you have any questions.
“We understand how disappointing this may be and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understand and continued support – we’re looking forward to making Saturday one to remember.”
This announcement follows a similar situation days earlier with the iMEP Music Festival in Accrington, which was also cancelled due to poor ticket sales.
The line up for Saturday will be:
- Aston Merrigold.
- The Clause.
- Toploader.
- Tinchy Stryder.
- The Cases.
- Ella Henderson
- Blazin Squad.
- Jamie Grey.
- Tom Zanetti.
Anyone who purchased weekend or camping tickets can claim a full of partial refund. If you bought Friday or Sunday tickets you can exchange them for a Saturday ticket.
