this year's Africa Oye festival at Sefton Park in Liverpool has been cancelled

Liverpool Life Awful news. As the post title indicates, this year's Africa Oye festival at Sefton Park in Liverpool has been cancelled. We've watched the stage somewhat being erected during the day but while I was out doing something other than watching a stage being erected, it was quickly removed again as the rain descended and now the field looks like this:



A condition not at all conducive to having a major music festival.  Seven Streets has a statement.  On my way home, I met some people connected to the festival on the edge of the field and they suggested we all keep an eye on the Africa Oye website for news of a potential move to an indoor venue.
