The RMF team made the following, somewhat expected, announcement earlier today:
With great regret Ramblin Man Fair 2021 will not happen. We thank everyone for their patience while we held our line until the last possible moment to make an informed decision. The reasons are many but all – unsurprisingly – are linked to the on going Covid related complications that challenge events in the early summer of this year, whether its the lack of government backed insurance scheme, no support from government funds that we applied for, ongoing travel restrictions on major artists, increased costs for crowd safety and potential testing – the list goes on.
Ramblin Man would like to thank all the bands who did put themselves forward and we know that they all share our regret and frustration at the situation. We would also like to thank the Event team at Maidstone council and Mote Park for their patience and understanding through this difficult time, but most of all RMF would like to thank the loyal ticket holders who make the event as special as it is.
Refunds can be accessed via point of purchase on Eventbrite.co.uk and details of potential rollover and dates for 2022 will be released in due course.
Stay safeThe RMF team.
