Grassroots festival cancelled

The Grassroots festival, due to take place over Easter at Puhinui Reserve in Manukau, South Auckland, has been cancelled.

The promoters have just released a statement.

"Since the devastating earthquakes in Christchurch, and the consequential standstill with which the entire country has come to, the very difficult decision has been made to cancel the event. We do not feel right seeking real media coverage for the festival while the country is so affected by this terrible disaster."

Full refunds will be made at point of sale.
