DARK CITY FESTIVAL

Welcome to the official Dark City website, with all the latest news and information about Edinburgh's renowned annual alternative music festival.

DARK CITY 2008 - ANNOUNCEMENT

After much deliberation, we regret to announce that there will be no Dark City festival in 2008.

Unfortunately, the costs of putting on events of this scale are such that it cannot be achieved without substantial personal financial input on our part, which, contrary to popular belief, we have never made back. We hope you will appreciate that this is something we can simply no longer afford to continue doing. In addition, there is also the many months of preparation and organision required, which again is something that is proving increasingly harder to commit to.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the bands that have performed in the past, the many people who have freely helped us with various tasks and obviously all the people who have supported the festival by attending and hopefully enjoying it!

This is not to say there won't be a festival in the future - it remains our hope to stage another credible festival in the UK at some future point, alongside those already existing, should circumstances change.
