A SLEW of huge UK concerts have been cancelled after its organisers fell into liquidation.
One of the events was set to be hosted by a TV icon, before the event was pulled altogether.
UKAC Productions had organised a variety of exciting events to be held at castles across England this September.
Festivalgoers were set to be treated to live performances, as well as exciting refreshments, at the UK Proms in the Park which were being held at Pendennis Castle in Cornwall and Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire.
Both festivals were set to be hosted by TV judge Robert Rinder, who was expected to treat fans to one of his DJ acts.
A mysterious "powerful vocalist" was also set to perform.
However, UKAC Productions suddenly fell into liquidation forcing the brand to cancel all of its upcoming events – including the Cornwall event on September 19 and the Derbyshire Event on September 20.
A spokesperson for English Heritage, the charity managing Bolsover Castle, said: "We are sorry to confirm that the upcoming Proms event at Bolsover Castle on 19th and 20th September has been cancelled as the organisation UK Proms has gone into liquidation.
"We are sorry for the disappointment caused by this news.
"As this event has not been organised by English Heritage, we advise you contact the ticket provider you booked through regarding any outstanding refund."
"If you have tickets your ticket provider will be in touch regarding the cancellation.
"The event was organised by UK Proms in the Park who hired Bolsover Castle for the concert."
In addition, the Dance Anthem Orchestra events on September 5 and 19, as well as the Three Tenors by Candlelight Event at Shrewsbury Abbey on November 29 have been cancelled.
The news comes just days after a huge noughties band were forced to cancel one of their tours.
American indie group Iglu and Hearty cancelled their In This City tour, which was set to kick off in Southend on August 14.
The group are known for their hit Then Boom, which reached number five on the UK charts.
Frontman Jarvis Anderson took to Instagram to break the news of the tour's cancellation.
He said: "I am devastated to have to say this, but I have to cancel our UK tour – for sensitive personal reasons received late last night, which are completely beyond our control.
"We are absolutely heartbroken that we are unable to put on these incredible shows for you all at this time, but please be assured as soon as things are settled we will be immediately looking at ways we can work towards revisiting in the UK in the near future."
