The troubled Doune the Rabbit Hole festival has been cancelled for good
- prompting fresh concerns from performers and ticket-holders owed money by the event.
The statement also says the DTRH organisers would be taking legal action against Bectu for what it described as an "orchestrated spread of misinformation" against the festival. "Sadly, since the start of BECTU’s call for a boycott in June, based on a campaign of misinformation, the numbers are just not stacking up and we have no choice other than to cancel the event.
Festival organisers had come under pressure after revealing a plan to pay off debts still outstanding from the 2022 event using profits gained from the next three years' festivals - with several big-name bands believed to among those waiting on five-figure fees. In the statement, the DTRH organisers state: "We know that we need to be as transparent as possible with you about the situation going forward so you can plan something else to do this summer - we can’t believe and are so sorry to be putting you in this position.
In this week's Observer, Bectu negotiations officer Paul McManus said: “We are very concerned about inexperienced volunteers being used on safety critical areas at Doune The Rabbit Hole. This is on the back of widely publicised failures to pay monies owed to musicians, crew, and other workers from previous years.
