No news on Fieldbounce refunds after festival cancelled
Customers are waiting to see whether they will receive a refund a week after a music festival was cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales.
Fieldbounce Music Festival was set to take place on May 5 at Park Hall with the likes of Scouting for Girls, ODG Fuse, DJ Danny Howard, Bez from the Happy Mondays and Dappy among the line-up.
Just last month festival CEO Shawn Melusi confirmed that ticket sales had gone over the 5,000 mark, after more acts were added to the line-up including a dance competition and a comedy tent.
Mr Melusi was hoping to attract 10,000 people to the event, but last week the festival was cancelled as due to financial demands not being met.
Ticket holders have been taking to social media and asking when they will be getting refunds, however information is yet to be released.
After the festival was cancelled last week, Mr Melusi said: "First of all we would like to thank you for your support. As you can imagine we have received lots of emails and we will eventually respond to you all.
"The reasons for the cancellation of the festival are sadly down to lack of ticket sales and lack of sponsorship, which meant we were unable to meet our financial deadlines.
"We are currently taking legal advice on our next move.
"Again apologies for having to cancel the event, we will send a further update on refunds in due course."
Despite no information being available, he has insisted that once organisers know more information they will be contacting ticket holders.
Plans for the one-day music festival were launched by Mr Melusi in October last year. Back then he stated there was a gap in the market for a music festival in the area, after the former festival Osfest ended.
