It has been confirmed that there will be no Oxegen music festival this year.

Organisers MCD issued a statement on their website last night, saying the cancellation is due to a lack of suitable headline acts and the financial demands from local agencies.

The festival's future is now uncertain. MCD says "it's no longer viable to stage Oxegen in its current form".

Oxegen has been running since 2004, having initially been a rebranded name for the Witness festival which ran from 2000 to 2003. During its peak years, Oxegen was estimated to have sold around 60-80,000 tickets a year.

Oxegen was also put on 'hiatus' in 2012. It returned last year with more of a focus on dance, electronic and hip-hop music. However, attendance numbers were said to have been much lower than previous years.
