Moonfest Cancelled Due To Babyshambles Banned Performance

The Moonfest has now been cancelled, following news that police had banned Babyshambles from performing at the Wiltshire-based bash.

Police felt Pete Doherty's band would be likely to "incite violence", which resulted in North Wiltshire Magistrates preventing them from playing live at the event.

Now the entire festival has been pulled, as organiser John Green tells BBC News: "[the cancellation is] due to the ramifications presented to us by the actions of the police".

As we reported this morning, Babyshambles are planning to put on their own show at frontman Pete Doherty's barn.
