Rockness and Kenwood cancel

Organisers of Scotland's RockNess festival have announced that the event will not go ahead this year. In a statement the events promoters said: "Due to the addition of a number of events alongside the World Cup and the Commonwealth Games we've decided to take a year off. We're using this break to make the event bigger and better than ever in 2015 so have an amazing summer and see you back at the Loch next year".

And there will be no summer concerts at Kenwood House in Hampstead, London,this year after organisers decided to pull the plug after 'major losses' in 2013.
