Earlier this month we reported that Preston Live music festival will not go ahead on the Friday and Sunday.

The popular festival which debuted last year with a headline performance by Jess Glynne, will now only proceed on Saturday.

The cancellation is due to ticket sales not reaching the required level, rendering the event unviable.

This announcement follows a similar situation days earlier with the iMEP Music Festival in Accrington, which was also cancelled due to poor ticket sales.

Those who had purchased tickets can attend the Saturday show or apply for a refund which can take up to 28 days to process.
