This weekend's Wild In The Country festival has been cancelled at the last minute.
The single-day event was to take place on Saturday 5th July in Knebworth, but following headliner Bjork's withdrawal, the festival has now been pulled.
Festival organisers said that the cancellation was down to poor ticket sales and a "key investor withdrawing at the last minute". A statement on Wild In The Country's messageboard read: "This is a very sad conclusion to our passionate efforts to develop an interesting and credible addition to the UK festival market.
"Unfortunately, Wild in the Country has become the latest in a series of festivals that have suffered from a unique and well-documented set of market forces this summer.
"We did everything possible to make the event happen and would like to apologise to all those who have purchased tickets, and for the inconvenience this cancellation may have caused."
They added they would attempt to get refunds for ticket buyers, but have not given details.
