Official statement on their homepage....

“It is with great sadness & due to circumstances beyond our control we must announce the postponement of this year’s Outbreak Summer Festival which was due to be held at Donington Park over this weekend, May 23/24, to a new date in the summer.

We have put every effort into delivering the festival but due to being made aware of certain information received regarding potential danger to public safety during the event the decision was taken today to act immediately, rather than postponing the Festival at too short notice.

We will look to come back bigger and stronger from this & we apologise it has taken until now to let you know, but we have been exhausting every option to ensure the safety of each & every Outbreaker wasn’t in doubt!

As you can see from the attached photos we were well under way in building our site and are totally gutted with this outcome, Details of the rescheduled event will be available shortly.

Once again we apologise for this outcome and hope you will still visit our events in the future.
