London's Citadel Festival has been cancelled after five years
London's Citadel Festival have posted a statement (now deleted) revealing that the festival has been cancelled after five years.
The one-day event, originally hosted in Victoria Park the day after Lovebox Festival, re-located to West London's Gunnersbury Park in 2018 along with Lovebox.
2019 saw performances from the likes of Catfish & The Bottlemen, Rag'n'Bone Man, Friendly Fires, Fontaines DC, Squid, and many more.
The organisers posted, and deleted, a statement earlier this morning. According to NME, the statement read, "After five incredible years of Citadel, the time has come for the sun to set on the ultimate summer Sunday. We want to say a massive thank you to every single one of you who has ever attended the festival, and to every artist, performer, speaker and volunteer who we have worked with to create some truly unforgettable moments. See you in another universe. The Citadel team."
