A British music festival headline by rapper Snoop Dogg has been axed just days before it was due to kick off.

The inaugural Another World Festival was due to take place in Buckinghamshire, England over the weekend (08-10Aug14) and feature performances by superproducer Mark Ronson, rapper Wretch 32, and Ms Dynamite.

However, organisers have now pulled the plug on the event.

A statement reads, "It is with great sadness and regret we announce the cancellation of the Another World Festival 2014. Due to unforeseen circumstances the event will no longer be taking place this weekend at Silverstone Woodlands. Tickets can be refunded in full by contacting your ticket agent... We are working hard to replace this event with others very soon within the coming weeks and hope you will check back... to hear our exciting new plans."
