This year's Glade festival has been cancelled.

Organisers have blamed a combination of increased demands by local police, legal fees and poor ticket sales for the move.

'This year the requirements imposed upon us for policing, security and stewarding have been greatly increased,' read a statement. 'To make matters worse the reluctance of the police to negotiate in advance and deliberately delay any dialogue with us has resulted in our being unable to tie down a final costing for the event. This, along with unexpected legal fees associated with a last minute license review, has radically increased the cost of the festival.

'Faced with what is already an expensive event to put on and with these unexpected forced increases in security and police costs as well as a level of advanced ticket sales that is below our expectations we have no choice but to do the responsible thing and cancel the event.'

Ticket holders can get a refund from where they bought their tickets.

The event was set to happen in four weeks time, featuring sets from Orbital, Tricky, Jeff Mills and Green Velvet.
