A one-day music festival due to take place at Oxford's South Park on Saturday has been cancelled, according to a message on its website.

Organisers of new festival Zapfest have put up a message on their official website saying the event had been cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances".

Thousands of people were expected to descend on the park to enjoy three stages of live music, DJs and comedy for what would have been the first Zapfest.

Tickets can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund, says the message on the website.
