BLUESFEST BACKFLIPS ON PAID PARKING FOR 2019 EVENT

Bluesfest has ditched paid parking, a month out from its 30th anniversary extravaganza.

Paid parking WAS to be introduced for 2019 , with organisers citing increased costs with regards to artist fees, production, logistics, grounds maintenance and security.

But the move has now been dropped – and festival-goers who’ve already paid will be refunded by April 12.

Organisers have apologised for any confusion and inconvenience caused.

Paid parking will instead be introduced in 2020.
