Forgotten Fields cancelled ‘due to rising costs’

Forgotten Fields festival has been cancelled due to “the rising costs of producing a quality event”, according to organisers.

The festival had previously confirmed headliners Dizzee Rascal, Suede and Kodaline would be playing at the event on 4-7 August 2016.

Forgotten Fields is run by the Manchester-based company From the Fields, which also runs Bluedot Festival, Kendall Calling and Live From Jodrell Bank. The festival is offering fans a full refund or a ticket swap with Standon Calling festival, which takes place on 29-31 July in Hertfordshire.

The full statement from the organisers of Forgotten Fields is below.
