Music fans fans are up in arms over a decision to rehome an award-winning festival.
Organisers of the Vintage at Goodwood Festival have confirmed that the estate will not play host to the celebration of British cool this year.
Festival organiser Wayne Hemingway hailed his new festival an unqualified success in the summer when more than 45,000 people descended on Goodwood, near Chichester, with ticket sales far exceeding expectations.
However he has now confirmed there will be no repeat performance this year with the festival set to go on tour instead.
A Facebook group called Keep Vintage at Goodwood has been set up and has already attracted more than 200 supporters.
The event in August featured performances from Sandie Shaw and The Faces fronted by Mick Hucknall and won Best New Festival at the UK Festival Awards in November.
Red or Dead fashion label founder Hemingway, 49, who lives near Chichester, founded the festival with his wife Geraldine and Lord March of Goodwood.
