another new festival fails to get off the ground

By Neil Greenway | Published:


The new LodeStar festival, which was planned to take place near Lode, in Cambridgeshire from Friday 31st August til Sunday 2nd September, has been cancelled.

Festival organiser Doug Durrant has just told BBC 6 Music that he felt that the awful summer weather was putting people off buying tickets.

Acts booked to appear at the festival included Badly Drawn Boy, Idlewild, The Bees, The Pigeon Detectives, The Rakes, Ghosts, Palladium, Envelopes, Foals, Friendly Fires, Terra Naomi, The Strange Death of Liberal England, The Hot Puppies, and more.

Refunds for tickets should be available from the point of purchase.
