Why was Rewind Festival 2021 cancelled?

The organisers of the festival released a statement stating that the scale of Rewind was ‘totally implausible’ due to the coronavirus restrictions in place at the time.

The statement read: "It is with massive disappointment that Rewind Festival HQ has to announce that the decision has been made to cancel this year’s planned Rewind Scotland."

It continued: "In the rest of the UK, we have very clear guidance that states from 21 June there will be a lifting of all restrictions which gives us a timeline we can all work with regarding the other Rewind Festivals taking place.”

“Unfortunately, we just don’t have that in Scotland."
