Festival News: Subtacto Festival Cancelled

Posted on Sunday, September 28 @ 07:00:00 UTC by nightowl

2008's edition of the Subtacto Festival in Norway has been cancelled. According to the festival website, they were short in funding, about $40,000 dollars short, and unable to acquire any sponsorship, and therefore decided to cancel the event. They will concentrate on paying off any debts from 2007's festival, putting the remainder toward a fund for planning future festivals. Some funds, they say (that I can determine*), will be used to finance a Pendragon concert in December.

There will be a "regular concert" on Friday, October 17, but no venue or artist has been yet named. They hope to bring Sylvan, Mind Games and Credo to Norway for concert performances in 2009.

"The few who have purchased tickets to this year's festival through our pages will of course [get their] money back. They are in a PayPal account and [are] not used!" See their website for more info.

* the site is in Norwegian... this is my best interpretation of Google's translation :-) -ed.
