Beachdown cancelled
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 27 August 2009
Beachdown Festival, which was due to take place this weekend, has been cancelled due to slow ticket sales and a lack of financial support, according to a statement posted on the event’s website.
Organisers said: “It is with immense personal regret that the directors of Beachdown Festival have been advised that they must announce that due to slower than forecast ticket sales and lack of support at a critical time from our bank and certain suppliers that despite being so so close to being able to deliver Beachdown Festival we are unable to do so. Very simply we were unable to meet the demands that the current economic climate put against us and at the eleventh hour despite having most of the infrastructure in place we have been forced to cancel the event”.
As ever, there are options for people who had already bought tickets for the festival. Offset Festival’s organisers have stepped in and offered a ticket exchange to get into their event on 5-6 Sep for an extra £35. More details on that here: www.offsetfestival.co.uk/beachdown/.
Brighton’s Concorde 2 venue is also planning to move the line-up of the stage it was due to host at Beachdown over to the venue itself. Further details on that are due to be announce shortly, here: www.concorde2.co.uk/news/Beachdown+cancelled+-+C2+to+host+local+bands%21
And finally, if you’re more keen on just have a good old sing-song, karaoke company Lucky Voice are offering a free hour in their Brighton venue to Beachdown ticket-holders until 1am on Sunday.

Refunds should be sought from the point of sale, further information will be made available via www.beachdownfestival.com
