Fans of Tokyo World have shared their disappointment after this year's festival was cancelled due to safety concerns. The festival released a statement last Friday (June 16) to say there were too many growing challenges at Eastville Park "that cannot be overcome" and so made the decision to call off this year's event due to take place from September 16-17.
This year was set to be the ninth edition of the music event that sees some of the biggest international artists perform across multiple stages, with Pendulum and Rudimental announced as headliners in May. All tickets are being refunded at face value.
In its initial statement, Tokyo World said: "We've worked hard with the council and police who have been supportive, but we have not been able to find workable solutions to the challenges of this location in order to keep the event safe and secure in the surrounding area and roads."
