All acts scheduled to perform at the event have been canceled due to a suspected venue issue.
The event organizers also released a statement explaining that the cancellation was due to “unexpected circumstances” that affected the event’s schedule.
Craig would take his world famous TS5 live show from Miami to West Sussex for just one night for the Wiston Summer Sounds festival.
The set mixes massive old skool anthems from R&B to Swing, Garage to Bashment, with the latest chart hits from House mixed in.
