Nottingham's Detonate Festival 2023 postponed amid 'spiralling' costs

A hugely popular Nottingham festival has been postponed less than a month before it was due to be held because of factors including 'spiralling' costs. The Detonate Festival was set to take place at Colwick Country Park on June 10, with acts including Chase & Status and Mall Grab.

But organisers confirmed on Monday (May 15) that the event would not be taking place as planned. A statement from the Detonate Festival said: "Sadly today we've had to make the painful decision to postpone Detonate Festival 2023.

"We're completely gutted, but a number of factors mean that it now feels impossible for us to put on the festival to the expected standard. Everything that's needed to put on a festival has gone up massively, and costs are continuing to spiral as we get closer to the event.
