Red List LIVE Charity Festival Cancelled Due To Economic Crisis

The Red List LIVE charity festival in Kent has been cancelled due to the ongoing global financial crisis.

The event had been due to take place at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park from June 19th-21st.

Proceeds from the festival were to be donated to the The Aspinall Foundation.

Festival Director Eddie Hill said the organisers were “very upset at having to make such a hard call”, but were confident they had “done what is right for the cause”.

“Foremost in our mind was the greater problems it could have created had we made this decision further down the line,” he continued.

“You only get one chance at making a good first impression and we’re determined Red List LIVE’s festival will be the best in the South East.”

Organisers hope to stage a series of smaller events this summer before then festival returns in 2010.

Acts who had been scheduled to appear at Red List LIVE included The Zutons, The Wombats and British Sea Power.

Refunds are available from point of purchase.
