Newcastle’s This is Tomorrow music festival has been cancelled for 2022.
Organisers have confirmed that the major event in Exhibition Park will not be going ahead this year, just two months before it was due to take place. The announcement comes after a row over noise complaints that has seen Newcastle City Council impose a stringent set of new restrictions, which it has been claimed will make it impossible for concerts to be held in the park.
This is Tomorrow bosses say that the harsher rules are “challenging” but are not the cause of the postponement, which has been put down to rising costs and an “oversaturated market”. The three-day festival was due to happen from June 3 to 5 – but no acts were ever announced for it.
