Redfest is the latest festival to be cancelled

United Kingdom | | 10 June 2008

This year's Redfest is the latest festival to succumb to poor ticket sales, but the Rock and Blues Custom Show is back on after organisers managed to find it a new home.

Redfest was set to take place at Robins Cook Farm, Redhill, Surrey from 4-5 July with The Maccabees and Patrick Wolf headlining, but today organisers announced the festival had been cancelled.

A message on their official site read: "Due to the very disappointing tickets sales we have had no choice but to call the festival off. We are truly sorry to those of you who have bought tickets and thank you all for your support."

Those who bought tickets are asked to contact their point of purchase for refunds.

In lighter news the Rock and Blues Custom Show has been revived after organisers took the decision to move the festival to Coneygrey Showground, Pentrich in Derbyshire.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary the festival will run from 24-26 July with performances from Mars Bonfire, Devilish Presley and Dr and the Medics. Click HERE for the full line-up.

Tickets cost £35 in advance or £45 on the gate. Click HERE to buy. Tickets bought for the original festival will still be valid for the re-located event.
