A brand new festival unaffiliated with Vince Power is to be held on the The Hop Farm Family Park site next year, according to reports.

Last week, it was revealed that the Hop Farm festival is to return in a reduced form for 2014, with a new promoter hoping for an event over the weekend of July 4th-6th.

However, after Hop Farm also confirmed a move to Tunbridge Wells, it has now issued a statement on Facebook detailing a second, brand new ‘Hop Farm Music Festival’ that may run on the original site.

“Reports suggest that another festival is to be hosted on The Hop Farm Family Park site, called the Hop Farm Music Festival, but this event has no association with the well-established Hop Farm Music Festival,” the statement reads.

“This is an unfamiliar event organised by an entirely different promoter and team. Despite the naming of this event it is not in any way connected with the esteemed Hop Farm Music Festival.”

Hop Farm ran into financial problems after its 2012 event and went into administration soon after. Despite hoping to return this summer, the festival was cancelled after poor ticket sales.
