What may be considered worrying for lovers of the summer music festival season – the Neuchâtel Open Air Festival – or Festi’neuch – has been cancelled.
It’s generally considered to be the season opener, being one of the first. It was due to be held between June 10th and 13th.

The festival is largely self-funded by a non-profit group.
