Underage Festival, which was due to take place in London next month, has been scrapped.
The likes of Lianna La Havas, Jessie Ware and Pulled Apart by Horses were due to play the event, which was set to take place on August 31.
A statement from organisers today suggested that Shoreditch Park may not have offered the sound and setup quality seen in previous years. It reads:
"It is with great sadness that we announce Underage Festival will no longer be taking place this year on Friday 31st August.
"Due to the Olympics we were forced into moving from our usual date and home in Victoria Park to a later date and new location in Shoreditch Park. Despite a positive start to the move from Victoria Park and repeated assurances that production levels would be suitable for a festival of this kind, we now find ourselves in an unfortunate situation where we have no choice but to cancel the event.
"We offer our apologies to those that have bought tickets. Full refunds for all ticketholders will be made at point of purchase or from the Underage website. Please visit http://www.underagefestivals.com/news/underage-festival-2012-announcement/ for full information."
