Freestate Cancellation (16th Mar)
It was announced on Saturday that the hotly anticipated Freestate festival has been cancelled. The event was to be run jointly by Spring Harvest and Greenbelt but due to "internal problems" Spring Harvest have had to withdraw from this year's event and Greenbelt are unable to continue alone. Both organisations are eager to point out that their relationship is still strong and that they very much regret this cancellation.
Greenbelt has been quick to react by adding new youth facilities to their summer event under the banner "Humanic". The new features include a skate/bmx area, a bring-your-own-vinyl DJ booth and an extended music programme.
These events come alongside reports that ticket sales for Spring Harvest'sEaster-period events are low and that they are also extremely short of stewardsand other staff. Only time will tell how serious these "internal problems"are.
