Heavenly Planet cancellation needn’t be a show stopper
Much has been said online about the cancellation of the Heavenly Planet festival.
I’m disappointed, but I understand the decision. There is still the Reading Festival to look forward to (we are blessed, aren’t we, in Reading) and I believe that the original global gathering, WOMAD, will go ahead as planned in its new Wiltshire site (which, dare I say it, is a far better location than Rivermead).
With the recession expected to continue into next year, in the UK at least, I suspect that we may not get to see the festival until 2011.
But why not organise our own fun? You occasionally see bongoes and the like in European cities. So how about a flashmob in Forbury Gardens?
