Red Rooster festival has been cancelled

festival was to celebrate the American Deep South in Suffolk

By Scott Williams | Published:


The inaugural Red Rooster Rhythm and Blues festival due to be held in the grounds of Euston Hall, in Suffolk in September has been cancelled.

A statement from Red Rooster says:
"It is with great regret that Red Rooster will be postponed for 2013.

We feel we need to relook at the formula for the event and ensure that we can present the best show possible, which this year for many reasons, we felt was not possible. Red Rooster's team would like to thank all of our audience for their early support for the show and we hope to be back with you as soon as we are ready to present our new formula and show.

We hope you can bear with us whilst we try and make everything happen behind the scenes to reignite the spirit of Red Rooster. All tickets can be refunded at point of purchase - any questions can be directed to [email protected]
."
