Organisers of Beyond the Pale festival have issued a statement confirming the event will “absolutely” go ahead this weekend – despite concerns raised on Saturday that it was cancelled.

Suppliers and workers on-site said they had been told by the organisers that the event was not going ahead – some even began dismantling stages and infrastructure.
