MUSIC festival managers with links to Common People in Oxford have admitted they are facing financial challenges.

Organisers of the Camp Bestival music festival in Dorset say they are looking for a new partner for next year.

Thousands are waiting for refunds after the annual festival was forced to close early when bad weather hit the site in July.

Organiser and radio DJ Rob da Bank also runs the Common People festival which has taken place every year at South Park since 2016.

There is nothing at the moment to indicate that Common People or Bestival Group events will not go ahead as planned in 2019.
