Company behind Wolverhampton music fest postponed three times claims city council is ignoring calls
The company behind a Wolverhampton music festival that has been postponed three years in a row claims the city council is ignoring its correspondence.
Toura Toura Festivals says it is seeking legal advice after receiving news that the Creation Day Festival, which was meant to take place in West Park in Wolverhampton on September 2 and 3, has been postponed for the third year running.
The festival, which was to feature artists including the Happy Mondays, Echo & The Bunnymen and Idles, has been pushed back to 2024 at a different venue, despite tickets for this year’s festival still being sold for up to £160 on the event’s website.
The festival was originally due to take place in May 2021 and was then rearranged for May 2022, with council bosses announcing postponements due to poor ticket sales after blaming the “disruption and uncertainty” caused by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The event had been organised by Wolverhampton Council in partnership with Toura Toura Festivals and curated by Alan McGee, who co-founded indie label Creation Records in 1983.
