The article Hop Farm 2013 cancelled due to poor ticket sales written by Daisy Wyatt was published in The Independent in May, 3. It reports at length that an annual music festival in Kent, Hop Farm was cancelled this year due to poor ticket sales.

Author says that even after 8 weeks of heavy marketing and with such a great bill that the sponsors had to cancel, though they were convinced this didn't reflect on the artists, it highlighted the poor economic climate. Promoter Vince Power announced in March that he would be scaling back the festival due to a difficult financial year, but now confirmed Hop Farm would not go ahead. Also the man said that the festival's organizers worked very hard to try to make it work but it proved too much a of mountain to climb and despite fighting hard, circumstances were such that based on poor ticket sales and the forecast selling rate substantial losses would be made.

Speaking of the participants of the concert it's necessary to point out that My Bloody Valentine, The Horrors, Rodriguez, Jimmy Cliff and Martha Wainwright were among the acts announced for the 2013 line-up.

The article draws a conclusion that ticket holders will receive a full refund from their ticket agents

In my opinion, this music festival, Hop Farm festival in Kent, should be an amazing weekend camping event in 2013. It was created by Festival Republic founder, John Vincent Power. After its first year the festival was nominated at the UK Festival Awards with "Best New Festival".
