Hop Farm posted this on their website about the cancellation of Hop Farm 2013:
'Dear Hop Farmers,
It’s with great regret that we have to announce the cancellation of the Hop Farm Music Festival 2013.
We have worked very hard to try to make it work but it has proved too much a of mountain to climb and despite fighting hard, circumstances are such that based on poor ticket sales and the forecast selling rate substantial losses would be made.
We would like to thank all the staff, suppliers and contractors that have also worked very hard to try and put the festival on again this year.
We would like to thank all the staff, suppliers and contractors that have also worked very hard to try and put the festival on again this year.
We have to thank the artists and agents that have supported us over the years and for this year’s acts to know that it has been a very hard decision to make, and we are very sorry that we are not able to have them play.
We would also thank the fans that have supported us over the past 5 years, it is with great sadness that the decision was made.
Ticket holders will receive a full refund from their ticket agents,
Vince Power'
