Bestival have confirmed that their sister event in Canada, Bestival Toronto, isn't going to take place in 2017.
"After two amazing years we’re sad to announce we won’t be returning to Canada this year," reads a statement on the fest's site. "We’re aiming to bring Bestival back to Toronto in the near future. Massive thanks for all your support and love on our journey so far."
The news comes a few months after a major shakeup of Bestival Classic, with the Isle Of Wight institution moving to Dorset for future events following a disappointing 2016. The new chapter opens this September with headline performances from The xx, A Tribe Called Quest, and Pet Shop Boys.
Bestival 2017 will take place at Lulworth Estate, Dorset, between 7-10 September. Tickets are on sale now.
