Festival cancelled after efforts to save it fail
KubixA festival has been cancelled after attempts to save it did not succeed, organisers say.
Northern Kin was due to take place at Thornley Hall farm, in County Durham, at the beginning of August.
Organiser Wannasee Ltd had previously said discussions were under way to preserve the festival after 10 of its other events, including Stone Valley North and Kubix, were cancelled at the end of May.
But a social media post on Wednesday confirmed Northern Kin would not be going ahead, despite the team having worked "around the clock" to find a way to run it.
"We are heartbroken to confirm that Northern Kin will not be going ahead this year," the post said.
"The team have been working around the clock the past couple of weeks trying to find a way to run the festival, but despite our best efforts, we are unable to do so."
It joins Sunderland's Kubix and Monument festivals, Stone Valley North in Thornley, County Durham, Wannasee Penrith, Wannasee South, Jukebox Sunderland and Jukebox Bingley, Sign of the Times, Stone Valley South and Stone Valley Midlands in being cancelled.
Wannasee Ltd had previously said it was "not able to continue" with the events and was in discussions with liquidators, but added discussions to preserve Lindisfarne Festival and Northern Kin were under way.
The company has been contacted for a comment.
Northern Kin previously faced criticism from fans over traffic problems and issues with toilets, water supply and disabled access at its previous site in Ushaw, County Durham.
