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.

“To all our loyal fans that have supported us, bought tickets and then had your festivals cancelled… Thank you for trying, we will be back next year and we can’t wait to see you then.”
The company added that ticket bookings will be automatically refunded within the next 14 days and tickets will not be carried over to 2022.
