Three outdoor events held at Essex's Hylands Park, including the Eighties' themed Flashback Festival, have been cancelled at short notice due to "unforeseen circumstances" .
Flashback Festival was set to take place on 13 September and feature a variety of Eighties' acts including Billy Ocean, Marc Almond and From The Jam. Two other events - 'Last Night Of The Proms' with Aled Jones on 7 September and Wet Wet Wet on 14 September - have also been cancelled.
According to the Essex Chronicle, UK Events and Production hinted that the V Festival, held on the same site, may have effected the decision.
A spokesman said: "This is the first time that we have cancelled an event in the history of our trading so the decision was not taken lightly. The site was recently used for the V Festival and after a recent site visit we do not feel that the area within the park we are using is acceptable to put on our concerts.
"UK Events prides itself on putting on quality outdoor concerts and we feel that going forward with this event would harm our reputation and potentially spoil consumers experience. UK Events would like to apologies for any inconvenience this has caused but we feel that this is the responsible thing to do under the circumstances.”
