A MUSIC festival to be headlined by Sister Sledge, Glasvegas, The Futureheads, Clean Bandit and Tinchy Stryder has been cancelled.
Out East was due to take place on August 6 and 7 at Gosford House, near Longniddry.
However, organisers announced on Friday that not only was this year’s event postponed but it would not be returning to East Lothian – instead taking place in Dalkeith.
Organisers said: “It is with great sadness that we must announce Out East will no longer be taking place at Gosford House this August and will be postponed until 2022.
"We have been closely monitoring the current situation and this week’s announcement that level 0 is being pushed back by three weeks means we simply cannot move forward with our plans.
"The health and safety of everyone involved with and attending the festival is paramount, and we are at a turning point where equipment costs, infrastructure and artist deposits etc become unrecoverable unless we act now.
"With this in mind, it is just not possible for the festival to go ahead as planned."
