The organisers of a Medway festival have said plans to run the event this year are still going ahead, despite one ticket site listing it as cancelled.

Confusion over whether or not Rochester Castle Concerts would go ahead in 2021 stemmed from See Tickets.

A quick Google search for the concerts also reveals the site e-festivals lists the concerts as cancelled.

But organisers AGMP have today confirmed they are still planning for the concerts to go ahead in the summer, and cancellation rumours were nothing but an error on behalf of the ticket-selling company.

A spokesman said: “It’s a See Tickets glitch - they have no idea why it’s happened and we have no idea why it’s happened.

“Definitively the events haven’t been cancelled, and we are like everybody else awaiting full government guidance as to how the events will operate - whether it’s free reign as as we’d obviously all love to have, or whether it’s under some kind of governmental guidelines.

“In which case we will be delivering the event according to what those government guidelines are.”

They added: “Until we hear otherwise from Boris and co, we are planning for these events to go ahead and looking forward to them, and hoping we are able to enjoy these concerts and all the other concerts that hopefully will be able to happen.”

See Tickets has now been updated and tickets are once again available for purchase.

The festival will bring together the likes of UB40, The Libertines and The Jacksons across its three-day line up.

It comes as Glastonbury festival was cancelled on Thursday, as the country continues to grapple with the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic.

Last year’s Rochester Castle Concerts were rescheduled after it was clear live music events in 2020 could not go ahead under social distancing guidelines.

In an announcement last year explaining the rescheduling of the event, AGMP urged ticket holders to consider keeping their tickets for this year’s events instead of asking for a refund.

The company took over the running of the event from Medway Council after the authority made "unsustainable" losses on it over the decade.
