CANCELLED :(
A friend of mine's just received an email from wegottickets saying the festival's been cancelled. Shame, I was looking forward to this.
Has Field Day sold out yet?
seriously?
.
Yep,
I thought he was winding me up, but I've just checked wegottickets.
Poor ticket sales apparently...
"Hello folks
We’re sorry to announce that will not be a tapestry festival this year , this decision was made when it became obvious that ticket sales would not reach the figure needed to stage the event.
We Apologise for any inconvenience this has caused , , tickets will be refunded from the point of purchase ,
, The option to scale down the event was considered but it was decided it would have made it relatively poor value and it would be a shame to put on a half hearted gig ,you can’t cut back on health and safety so all the best things about it would be the first casualties
There will be a end of july club and a festival special at st Aloysius on Saturday the 9th featuring some of the bands who would have been playing , so hope you can make it
The tapestry festival will be back, and plans are already in place to make it very special indeed , and if not bigger it will definitely be better, so watch this space..."
Shame that this festival is one of the casualties. It's always been fun. I regret missing last year's to go to Field Day now... :(
that sucks bum.
:(
Tapestry Festival Cancelled!!!
It's so depressing but this wonderful festival just can't afford to go ahead this year! All due to low ticket sales.
Tapestry Goes West has been one of the best events of the summer for the past few years, but because of all the events that have been cropping up in the UK, those events that actually have big name sponsors bombarding the crowd with endless visual guff. Basically Tapestry Goes West '08 is no more thanks to these guys and it sucks.
