It’s just been announced that a major music festival in London will no longer be taking place.
We Are FSTVL – which was set to take place May 25 and 26 in Central Park in the London London Borough of Barking and Dagenham – has been cancelled due to event site issues, according to a statement from the festival.
The headliners of the dance music festival were Eric Prydz and Chase and Status.
The statement from the festival team reads as follows:
‘We are devastated to announce that for reasons beyond our control, We Are FSTVL 2024 is unable to go ahead.
‘Last year, when we were looking for a new home, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham offered us the beautiful Central Park and we worked with them to create detailed plans for how the Festival would work this year and be better than ever before.

‘We had invested time and money into the new site, new stages and brought in a new Creative Team to bring the weekend to life with immersive experiences and large art installations, alongside the already fantastic lineup, which we couldn’t wait to share with you.
‘Sadly, and just days before we were due to attend on site to start the build, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham accepted that they could not deliver a safe event space that was fit for the purpose of allowing us to stage We Are FSTVL 2024.
‘In a press release London Borough of Barking and Dagenham say that the difficult decision to cancel has been made for health and safety reasons after record levels of rainfall this year.
‘We are heartbroken by this decision and can’t wait to dance with you again in 2025 and show you everything we have been working on.
‘All ticket holders will be entitled to a refund and will be contacted via email shortly with further information.
