The Wheels & Fins Festival in Kent, which was to have a day headlined and curated by Slaves, has been cancelled due to financial difficulties.
“It is with absolute heart-breaking agony that due to financial constraints on our small growing independent festival we have been forced into the devastating decision that Wheels and Fins festival 2019 has been cancelled,” a statement explains.
“To the artists, traders and suppliers who we have worked tirelessly with all year, we apologise for the huge inconvenience this causes. To our loyal ticket holders we are truly devastated to disappoint you and thank you for your continued support.”
“We will have a more detailed statement to make in the coming days and ask that you please bear with us as we work with our ticketing partners and legal representatives to prepare the next steps.”
It would’ve taken place on September 7th and 8th, and Slaves had picked the likes of Willie J Healey, Lady Bird, Queen Zee, Para Fiction, Hockeysmith and FEET to perform on their curated day.
