The event was due to take place at Stanford Hall, in Leicestershire has been cancelled as a two day festival. However, Chazzstock will still live on in the form of a one-day event across both Wolverhampton Civic Hall and Wulfrun Hall on Sunday 10th June, and will still donate all of its profits to The Prince's Trust.

Original 2 day festival ticket holders are being offered the choice of a full refund or a transfer to a special VIP ticket for the day event. Full details on refunds and the new event will be available shortly via the Chazzstock website.

Jack Bissell, organiser of Chazzstock and close friend of the late Charles Haddon, has released this official statement,

"It's with a heavy heart that we have to pull the festival. It's always a struggle for a brand new festival and as a non-profit festival it has been even harder. We have fought hard to make Chazzstock Festival work, as we wanted to get the best possible result for Charles and the charity we are raising money for.

"Due to licensing restrictions and an impending festival date, it seemed a change of venue was the best possible solution. The Vaccines have been very supportive of the venue change and we still want to put on an event that would make Charlie proud! I'd like to thank everyone involved in organising the festival and everyone who has bought a ticket for their support. It really means a lot to us all and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused..

"I still hope that one day, we can do a proper Chazzstock Festival. Maybe we should go with Charlie's original plan and do it in the field behind his parents' house!"

The Vaccines, The Horrors, and Tribes, plus support bands will still be playing full sets to raise money for The Prince's Trust in memory of their much-loved friend and fellow musician Charles Haddon.

A ticket for the one day event is priced at £25. To buy tickets, click here.
