The RocknRoots festival which was due to take place from Saturday 23rd August to Monday 25th August first at Much Marcle, near Ross on Wye, Hereford, and then briefly cancelled before relocating to Chepstow Racecourse, has been cancelled again.

A message on the festival website (here) reads as follows:-
The ROCKnROOTS FESTIVAL 23 24 25TH AUGUST 2008 cannot go ahead.
We have tried relentlessly to get this cancelled gig at Much Marcle rescheduled with the help of Chepstow Racecourse at their site, but the sheer amount of ticket refunds requested over the past 3 days, together with the loss of 2 bands, Marillion being one of them and an essential drawer, has made this an impossible task. Please accept our sincere apologies and appreciation to those who have written in with support and the loyal music lovers willing to still come and move to Chepstow for the event. The disruption is unimaginable ! The up front infrastructure and future band payments now far exceed any over draft and loans we have committed to, it has become financial suicide.
