Organisers of Alt-Fest, which was due to make its bow on the UK festival circuit next month with a focus on the harsher side of rock, have said they are ‘dealing with extremely challenging and stressful issues’ amid rumours the festival has been cancelled.

Indeed, headliner Marilyn Manson has Alt-Fest as no longer taking place on his official Facebook page, yet while it’s clear from the event’s own statement that it is in trouble, they have not confirmed whether or not it will take place as scheduled at Boughton House in Kettering between August 15th-17th.

“We at Alt-Fest HQ would like to sincerely apologise for our silence over the last 24 hours,” a statement from the organisers reads.

“Currently we are working all hours to deal with some extremely challenging and stressful issues for Alt-Fest. We will be able to provide an official statement with full information before Monday and answer any questions you may have at that time. We want you to know that we have been doing everything we can to take the right steps for you: our fans, friends and customers – we assure you we only have your best interests at heart.”
