This year has been particularly economically turbulent for everyone and to date this year 60 UK festivals have been cancelled, postponed or lost and we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to return with a line up we are very proud of. We would like to thank our community for the support we have received this year and we hope to see you in the pit!”
