Beached Festival

The festival was headlined by Nine Black Alps and Inme and included established acts such as Foals, Frank Turner, One Night Only, The Hoosiers, Amy Macdonald, DARTZ!, Alabama 3 and The Paddingtons.

It was alleged a sexual assault occurred at this festival;[2] the organisers cooperated with the North Yorkshire Police investigations, which led to a Crown Court hearing.

At the time of the incident, organisers were holding emergency meetings with the concessions and catering firm (who run T in the Park) who were disappointed with the turn-out.

In 2009 Scarborough Borough Council and The North Yorkshire Police refused to give permission for the event, partly because of safety and public disorder concerns, and because of financial issues remaining outstanding.

The organiser told the press that the event would not be going ahead for personal reasons, although the Scarborough Evening News reported later that H2O: Beached Ltd had been liquidated, owing £38,000 to various creditors.
