Postponed Sunrise festival to take place at Big Chill
Festival won't be stopped by floods
The Sunrise Celebration festival is teaming up with The Big Chill festival after it was postponed last month.
The event, which will now take place as part of this collaboration from August 1 to 3 in Herefordshire, was initially called off after intense flooding made the site inhabitable.
Bands including The Orb and The Dub Pistols were due to play the 20,000 capacity Somerset festival, that would have taken place from May 29 to June 1.
The Big Chill have now offered Sunrise a field at the end of the site which will have its own road access, camping and parking.
The line-up will be announced soon.
