Despite my recently passing by a billboard advertising this years Chillifest for June 23 and 24, it seems the ad's were premature.
Open House have announced this morning that there will be no Open House or Chillifest this year.
This is very sad news.
The full statement from Open House is below, here's hoping it does indeed return next year.
