Harrogate Fake Festival cancelled
Harrogate Fake Festival, which was set to be held on the Stray on July 17, has been cancelled.
Organisers said on its Facebook page that the easing of lockdown restrictions "was paramount" for the event to go ahead.
It has been held inside a marquee on the Stray every summer since 2015, except for 2019 when it was moved to Killinghall Moor Country Park, and last year, when it was cancelled.
This year's edition was due to feature tribute acts for artists including Green Day, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Queen.
The company Fake Festivals runs similar events across the country during the summer.
