Let's Rock! Edinburgh cancelled!
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver August 9th, 2006

September 30th's Let's Rock! Edinburgh event - due to be held at the Royal Highlands Centre - has been cancelled.

Acts slated to appear included The Futureheads (pictured), Babyshambles, Feeder and Long Blondes - click here for our initial announcement. Had the one-day gig gone ahead, it would have been Edinburgh's largest-ever indoor festival, with a 22,000-person capacity.

A statement on the event's website reads...

"We are very disappointed and saddened to announce the cancellation today of Let's Rock! Edinburgh. This event was being funded with the aid of a private investor who is now not able to produce the necessary funding required to see the event continue. This unfortunately leaves us with no choice but to cancel the event with immediate effect.

"All tickets will be refunded if you return to your point of purchase. If you purchased online or via telephone, please contact the ticket agent who will issue you with a full refund."
