Hey guys,
So me and ash have been sat on some news for the last few days or so which we have been trying to resolve but its proving difficult at this stage! Unfortunately Year of the Knife have had to pull from the festival due to plans back home in the states which means they can no longer close the festival for us!!! also a lower down band are having logistic issues with coming over too which is looking like we'll loosing 2 bands on the same day :(
Now with only 10.5 weeks to go its going to be very difficult to get a replacement of same size and within budget! which now leaves us in a very difficult situation on what to do with the festival/days!
--------------------------------------------------
Now a few ideas we have come up with between me and ash which are:
1. Do we leave the days as they are and reduce the price for weekend tickets and start Sunday a little later and refund the difference to people who's already brought tickets.
2. Do we reduce the festival down our self and just make it just a one day event and again refund the difference.
3. Do we postpone the full festival til 2024 and hope we can get the same line up and refund all brought tickets to the people and get back to work on the festival and hope we can make something work for 2024.
-------------------------------------------------
Now i know a lot of people will probably comment on this and suggest bands but trust us, we have been through pretty much everyone when our original headliners and main supports pulled out earlier this year and a lot of bands already have plans for this year and we also need to make it fit within the budget of the festival!
We want to make sure we make the right decision and not leave it too late and have to cancel the festival closer to the time, as any promoter we don't want to being into the festival with a huge bill over our heads with pre paid flights to some bands in advance etc! so we need to make sure we decide before any money is sent in advance!
lets hope we can make something work and we would like to hear your ideas on what you would like to see happen for 2023!
thanks
Dan & Ash
