Clare Festival Cancelled
The Cold Pro Festival, due to take place in Clare over the Irish June Bank Holiday weekend has been cancelled.
The event at Miltown Malbay, whose headline artists included Peter Hook, Jamie XX and Imelda May was cancelled because of "factors outside of the organisers' control", a statement said.
A spokesman for the 'Surf and Soul' festival said: "Events that have transpired during the last 72 hours have made it impossible for the festival to go ahead as planned on the June bank holiday weekend.
"The ‘Powers that be’ have unfortunately and sadly decided that County
Clare and indeed Ireland will have to wait much longer for a festival like this
to be able to function as we envision it."
The festival organisers said they had put their hearts and souls into creating an independent event run "by the people for the people", and apologized to those that came on board.
"We are aiming to come back stronger than ever to run the festival in 2012, possibly in a different part of Ireland, but still with the same ideals and creative vision as the driving force behind it."
Refunds on all tickets are available via Ticketmaster.
