A new music festival set to make its debut in Newcastle this weekend has been cancelled two days before its debut.
In shock news this Wednesday, the festival In Between Days, which had been due to play out in Times Square over three days from this Friday to Sunday, announced it has been called off, without giving any explanation of the reason. The event had been set to star Happy Mondays and Ian Brown and local favourites Andrew Cushin and Liam Fender were also on the bill.
The new May 26-28 festival had just been announced in March, with organisers Tokyo Live promising many more acts to be announced including a potential big surprise for the bank holiday Monday too. But now music lovers are left shocked and disappointed by a statement posted by organisers on the festival website which said: "We gave it our best shot. We are so very sorry to have to deliver the news that the In Between Days Festival will not be going ahead.
