ORGANISERS of this year's Moonfest have reacted angrily after they were forced to cancel the entire event.
The news comes after police won a court order at Chippenham Magistrates Court on Monday to stop the opening night festivities in Westbury on August 29, which was due to be headlined by Pete Doherty.
Moonfest organisers have reacted angrily to the decision in a statement on their website.
It said: "With Pete and Babyshambles being our headlining act for the weekend, this draconian action taken by the Police make it impossible to run the event at the end of August.
"To say we are surprised and devastated would be an understatement."
Organisers are currently contacting people involved in the festival and will shortly begin contacting people who have purchased tickets.
There is no news as to whether all ticket holders will be refunded.
