It was due to take place in Brighton this weekend but Beachdown Festival has been cancelled at the very last minute. The official website says the cancellation was due to “slower than forecast ticket sales and lack of support at a critical time from our bank and certain suppliers”.

The statement continues: “Very simply we were unable to meet the demands that the current economic climate put against us and at the eleventh hour despite having most of the infrastructure in place we have been forced to cancel the event.

“We wish to say at this time how desperately sorry we are to all those who have bought tickets or were participating in the event and to say that we all here are personally shattered especially after eleven months of battling against the recession to try and put this event on and coming so close. We also wish to advise everyone that we explored every possible avenue to finance the event including re-mortgaging our houses to combat the unwillingness of banks to support us.”
