Camping for Newcastle’s Fat As Butter music festival has been cancelled by promoters, Mothership Events.
The cancellation comes despite council approving all environmental and other factors just yesterday.
Brett Lean from Mothership Events said even with approval they couldn’t provide the camping experience in the 5 weeks remaining before the event.
“We feel that we don’t have enough time to deliver the quality of experience that we’d planned.
“With the time constraints we face we’d rather not risk getting it 100% right,as this is a long term objective,and we’ll focus our energies on making it happen for next year and beyond.”
Mothership Events had planned a campsite at Stockton which was knocked back. The organisation then wanted to set up a camp near Nobbys Beach.
Fat as Butter will take place on October 26; headliners include Bliss N Esso, Owl Eyes and Boy and Bear.
