Nozstock Festival set to come to an end after over 20 years
Organisers say the 2024 festival will be the last.
A popular Herefordshire festival will come to an end next year, according to organisers.
On Twitter, it's been announced Nozstock Festival's 2024 iteration will be it's last.
The festival - which has been running for over two decades - takes place every July in Bromyard.
However, in a letter to fans (nicknamed 'Nozstockers'), the organisers say 'all good thinsg must come to an end' and have confirmed the Festival will end next year.
They say:
"2024 will mark 26 years of Nozstock The Hidden Valley. It’s been more than two decades of unforgettable music and memories which will always hold a special place in our hearts. As will the artists we’ve showcased, the spectacles we’ve created and most importantly the friends we have made along the way. But all good things must come to an end and sadly Nozstock 2024 will be the last one.
"We love this event and our crew have put everything into helping Nozstock survive and thrive. But after the losses incurred over COVID, straight into a cost-of- living crisis, the financial risk is becoming too great. Nozstock has always been a totally independent event, with a wide variety of entertainment on offer and although there are changes we could make to allow the festival to continue, the final product is something we don’t recognise and wouldn’t be the event you love. "
The festival says they promise to 'go out with a bang' by putting together a line-up of fan-favourite acts from the last 26 years - as well as a few 'exciting additions.'
Nozstock Festival 2024 takes place from 18-21 July, 2024.
