Two brand new and unrelated music festival are set to be staged on the former Hop Farm Music Festival camp site.
The Hop Farm Music Festival was called off earlier this year due to poor ticket sales and although the festival won't be making a comeback, an entirely different festival looks set to take its place on the site.
The Hop Farm Music Festival Facebook page reads: "Reports suggest that another festival is to be hosted on The Hop Farm Family Park site, called the Hop Farm Music Festival, but this event has no association with the well-established Hop Farm Music Festival.
"This is an unfamiliar event organised by an entirely different promoter and team. Despite the naming of this event it is not in any way connected with the esteemed Hop Farm Music Festival."
Promoter Vince Power will also be running a separate festival next year which will take place on the nearby Tunbridge Wells site.
He added: "I have been building the Hop Farm for six years now, unfortunately due to the economic climate we had to cancel last year, but the festival is not over.
"We have a strong brand in the festival market, an instantly recognisable festival and you can't keep a good festival down."
Kent Online have reported that the new festival will be run by a promoter, thought to be Flashback Festival's Neil Butkeratis.
A spokesperson for UK Events added: "It will be more of a boutique festival with a new promoter and line-up." It will staged over the weekend of 4-6 July 2014 and cater for 20,000 punters.
