- Festival organisers and the venue are blaming each other for the cancellation of the two-day event.
- The 2015 edition of High Definition has been cancelled. The festival was supposed to go down at The Hop Farm on September 5th and 6th. It had been originally due to take place in July at Eridge Park, located on the border of Sussex and Kent, before it was rescheduled to The Hop Farm in September. It has now been called off, with festival organisers and the venue blaming each other. On August 19th High Definition published a statement that read:It is with great regret that the rumours are true and The Hop Farm have cancelled High Definition Festival. Please check back later today for a full statement and instructions for ticket holders. The organisors of HD do not accept ‘The Hop Farm’ had valid reasons for cancelling the festival and the matter is now in the hands of solicitors. Further announcements about refunds will be made as soon as possible.Despite indicating a full statement would emerge on August 19th, there has been no further word from High Definition. The Hop Farm meanwhile made its own statement:It is with deep regret that The Hop Farm has to announce the cancellation of HD (High Definition) festival which was due to take place on 5-6 September 2015. We understand that this has caused disappointment amongst fans, ticket holders and of course ourselves, but unfortunately The Hop Farm was left in a position where its event licence was in serious jeopardy. The Hop Farm has a good relationship (and works closely) with the Council and nearby residents to provide responsible events and in doing so it keeps within the parameters set out in its licence. The organisers of the HD festival failed to sufficiently evidence that these parameters had been met and on time in order for the event to proceed. Ticketholders should contact the HD Festival for any further information concerning tickets and/or the event and not The Hop Farm.The likes of Apollonia, Luciano, Art Department, Tensnake, Nick Curly, Oneman, Will Saul, Redlight, Goldie and Breach had been due to play at the festival.
