Canberra’s Foreshore Festival is axed for 2013.
In a statement, Kick Entertainment director Jeff Drake said the decision to cancel was a difficult one, but the event was "not going to meet the high standard people have come to expect.”
"... so rather than deliver an event we feel would not meet that standard, we have opted to give Foreshore a well-earned rest this year and focus our energy on Foreshore 2014 [...] This has been an incredibly difficult decision for [co-director Ryan Phillips] and I. We feel so fortunate to have staged 6 highly successful Foreshore events with our partners, a tradition we will continue in 2014.”
In past years, the festival has been a sell-out when it had names as Salt N Pepa, Gotye and The Temper Trap.
