Glade festival cancelled

Organisers of dance music festival Glade blamed police and ‘unexpected legal fees’ for their decision to cancel the event, which was due to take place at Matterley Bowl, Winchester from July 15.

‘The requirements imposed upon us for policing, security and stewarding have been greatly increased this year,” they said in a statement. ‘To make matters worse the reluctance of the police to negotiate in advance and deliberately delay any dialogue with us has resulted in our being unable to tie down a final costing for the event. This, along with unexpected legal fees associated with a last minute license review, has radically increased the cost of the festival’.

‘Coupled with a level of advanced ticket sales that is below our expectations, we have no choice but to do the responsible thing and cancel the event.’

Talks with other similarly minded festivals about part exchange of tickets are ongoing, while refunds are available from point of purchase. Ticketline users should contact: customerservices@ticketline.co.uk
