Power to re-launch Phoenix

Vince Power has said that he is planning on resurrecting the Phoenix Festival in 2012, which happens to be the Glastonbury Festival’s next year off. Power created the Phoenix Festival with Mean Fiddler in 1993. It ran for five years, but then was cancelled after disappointing ticket sales in 1998. No location has been announced. Power has recently floated his new live music company Music Festivals plc whose events include the recently concluded Hop Farm Festival last weekend featuring Prince and the newly launched Feis which again relaunched the Fleadh in London’s Finsbury Park. In separate news, organisers of a new festival in Devon - the Devonrox Festival - have announced they are cancelling their event due to poor ticket sales.
