THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

We Luv Festival has been cancelled.

A statement said, "We Luv Festival has been cancelled due to contractual differences with Jockey Club Racecourses Ltd that arose unexpectedly during recent days. This dispute will not be resolved prior to the scheduled dates for the event. The family focused festival was due to take place at Aintree Racecourse over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

"We Luv Festival was due to see up to 80,000 people attend the world famous site owned by the Jockey Club over the course of the May Bank Holiday weekend. The festival was due to be the first of its kind focusing on children and families with a food festival, funfair and activities alongside the huge list of music stars performing.

A spokesperson for We Luv Festival commented, “We are all so disappointed that the festival can no longer take place. We have worked tirelessly to bring Liverpool its first family focused festival. We are so dismayed that the festival can no longer take place due to irreconcilable contractual differences between various parties”.

We Luv Festival would like to extend their heartfelt thanks for all the support received so far.

Anybody who has purchased a ticket to attend the festival has been contacted by organisers with details of how to be issued with a full refund."
