The event has had its plug pulled following headliners The Libertines' announcement that they would not be appearing due to Pete Doherty's ill health/general bonkers behaviour.
Doherty is currently, allegedly, in France, battling his addiction to drugs.
The organisers released the following statement:
"We would like to thank averyone who has worked so hard to try and stage a major musical protest against racism and fascism ahead of June 10. That work will not be in vain. Hundreds of artists big and small across the UK have now publicly stated their determination to stop the fascists, and many have pledged to play at future gigs."
Mick Jones, once of The Clash, has been telling anyone with ears that the new Libertines album is the shit. DiS isn't holding its breath, but wishes Pete all the best in his efforts to get healthier.
