Cancelled Horizon Music Festival will go ahead next year, says promoter

The organiser of a cancelled music festival which was due to take place next month has insisted that ticket-buyers will be refunded, and that the event will go ahead next year.

Last week Venom Events announced that it was cancelling the Horizon Music Festival because of issues arising from its choice of venue — the second location due to host the event.

The festival was originally advertised as taking place at Fairyhouse Racecourse on July 1 and 2, but last month it was announced it would instead be held at Drumbaragh House, Kells, Co Meath, on August 20 and 21. Last week it was revealed that the event would not go ahead.
