On April 16, organisers revealed, due to “rising costs of producing outdoor camping festivals”, they would be moving to the urban venue in Glasgow for July 2019, following a change of date from September in previous years.
A statement has yet to be released on the cancellation on the event's social media pages.
SWG3 have confirmed they will some refunds to Electric Fields festival ticket-holders saying they will give full refunds to those who bought tickets directly from them.
Question marks remain for those who purchased from TicketLine, who initially issues the cancellation email and have removed the event from their site.
