Hop Farm Festival is set to return next summer, despite being called off this year because of poor ticket sales and going into administration following the 2012 event.
Neil Young played an acoustic set at Farm Aid 2013 on Saturday night (September 21).
The event, which took place in Saratoga Springs, New York, also included Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp as well as Pegi Young and The Survivors, who included her husband Neil in their line-up.
Hop Farm Festival has been cancelled.
The festival was due to take place over the weekend of July 5 - 6 at Paddock Wood, Tonbridge, Kent.
In a statement promoter Vince Power said: “After reviewing the ticket sales on Hop Farm and the predicted final figures the festival would suffer unsustainable losses so therefore, as from today, it is with great sadness I am announcing the cancelation of the festival.
The company behind Hop Farm and Benicassim festivals is preparing to go into administration.
Shares in Vince Power's ailing Music Festivals company were worth 66.5p last June, valuing the company at £10m, but they were suspended at just 2.12p on Friday (September 21), making the company worth just £310,000, The Guardian reports.
When Bob Dylan played Hop Farm in 2010, it was the hottest weekend of the year and there seemed to be more people at the festival than the site could hold. There were queues for everything and queues to join those queues were not uncommon. By early afternoon, you could barely move for the people already there and the constant stream of new arrivals who added to an already considerable mass.
Hi there,
I hope those of you who braved the abysmal weather last weekend to go to the Isle of Wight festival had a good time and made it back unscathed.
