NEWS - DUE TO POOR TICKET SALES HULTSFRED 2010 HAS BEEN CANCELLEDToday organisers of the 25th Anniversary Hultsfred Festival have been forced to cancel this year's festival and file for bankruptcy
A message from the orgnaisers :
As ticket sales look like a week before the festival would have taken place, we can not arrange this year's festival, but we as organizers are forced to throw in the towel. Hultsfred X will not be implemented.
To set this year's festival has been a very hard decision to make. But it is the most responsible, we can do in this situation.
Although it feels very sad that this year's anniversary festival takes place, so we still look back over the past 24 festivals with pride. We look back at legendary concerts as well as the joy and the collective love of music, which over the years has driven us as well as organizing our visitors.
We also feel proud that we repeatedly have carried out the impossible. But this year it became impossible really impossible. We do not throw in the towel because we want it. We throw it because we need it. We can no longer offer all visitors and all the volunteers the experience of the officers deserve to be part of.
We want to thank all those who have ever visited the festival and all those who helped and worked with the festival. At the same time, we would ask all those who had planned to visit this year's festival to have an understanding of our situation
