That's according to the Vice Chair of Mitchelstown Business Association Claudia Matassa who says the event was a huge draw and provided a massive boost to the economy every August Bank Holiday Weekend.

Over 15,000 thousand people attended the popular festival every year, generating upwards of €2 million for the town.

Organisers say the decision to leave the site at Deer Farm was made with a heavy heart but that they were left with no other option in the end.

They also stated that they are planning for the future and will refund anyone who bought a ticket for next years festival by Christmas.
