Tá go leor daoine croíbhriste.
An Irish language festival which was due to take place in Dublin this summer has been cancelled due to a lack of ticket sales and other contributing factors.
Earlier this week, the team behind Raveloid released a video explaining that they needed to sell another 500 tickets in order for the gig to go ahead.
A post from Raveloid’s official page explained that the event has been postponed “due to a number of production factors.”
“The goodwill shown to Ravelóid among the general public, especially over the last few weeks, both nationally and internationally, has proven that there is a strong demand for a contemporary Irish language music festival. The Board will be working in the coming months on an alternative date.”
People have expressed their disappointed at the news via Twitter.
