Black Swan Festival - Cancelled


The Black Swan Festival that was set to take place for its first year at the Bath Racecource, and was due to see the likes of Mayhem and Lordi, has been cancelled:

"It has come as another massive blow to us, we have had to cancel Black Swan festival due to one of our major financial backers pulling out for personal reasons, which I cannot disclose.

This was unexpected to say the least and at this late date it is far to late to amend, or pull any other stops.

This is the not the first bump in the road we have had, infact it has been a total nightmare to try and keep this festival together, with one problem after another, this one has finally knocked us down and we are not getting back up from it. If you have been with us from the start then you will already know this.

I'm sorry to disappoint you all. We are gutted to say the least, it could have been a great day."

Also adding:

"I can and will tell you that there will be no Black Swan Festival next year, or any other year for that matter, as finacially, pysically and mentally, this has drained us, and as I said with out our backer we can no longer proceed with this project."

For the people who purchased tickets, for refunds go to the ticketing agent where it was purchased.

The Black Swan team are all once again very sorry for the people who were going to attend.

Well. Poo. I feel bad for them, this would have indeed been a great day and possibly the start of something really cool to add on to the metaller's summer in the U.K.

Yes, but I don't find that surprising at all. Just look at the sheer number of festivals this summer. And with the steep prices one has to make decisions. And people can only spend their money once. So most will settle for the festivals that have proven themselves over the years.
