Secret Garden Party announces final year

After fifteen incredible years as one of the UK's most loved summer festivals, Secret Garden Party has announced that this year will be their last.

In a statement posted on their Facebook page, Founder and Head Gardener Freddie Fellowes said, "This summer will be the almighty send-off that the Garden Party deserves and whilst that is going to cause some tears to be shed, think of it more as ‘Dylan goes electric’ than our Altamont. Because after all you can’t be avant-garde from within an institution and lest we forget: the frontier always moves.”

Although it doesn't look like all doom and gloom as he also went on to state that the team would be returning in some form, saying, "This isn’t some principled self-immolation: this is opening it up for the future.”

The final Secret Garden Party will take place from the 20th-23rd July near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, and you can check out the current line-up and buy tickets here. See below for the full statement from the festival.
