Festival-goers face uncertainty over refunds after the firm behind a high profile music event went into liquidation.

The Hop Farm announced last week it had axed High Definition last week over licensing issues, just three weeks before it was due to go ahead.

But now fans have been dealt another blow, after the organisers announced they had taken the decision to cancel all future events.

Originally they had announced they would be looking for alternative premises.

The directors have also begun the process of liquidating the business behind HD, Live Music Events Limited.

A statement from High Definition, received today, said: "Due to the actions of The Hop Farm last week it is with great regret that the directors have taken the decision to cancel all future events.

"The decision is beyond their control due to the action of third parties and the impending insolvency of the company.

"If tickets have been purchased on cards we recommend contacting your card issuer for further instructions on how to possibly receive a chargeback.

"Alternatively we have managed to secure some ticket swap options for our customers given the circumstances.

"Everyone at High Definition sends a heartfelt apology for the situation it and its fans have been placed in."

Among the options for tickets swaps are the The Social in Maidstone on September 12, Arcadia in Bristol on September 4 and Mint Festival at Wetherby Racecourse on Sunday, September 20.
