Rock En Seine offers discounts after Amy Winehouse no-show

Rock En Seine is offering half-price tickets for next year after Amy Winehouse cancelled her headline set at short notice, while Bestival has a back-up plan for her slot there.

The organisers of the Rock En Seine festival, which took place in France last weekend, have offered disappointed ticket-holders tickets for next year's festival at half price, after Amy Winehouse cancelled her Friday night headline performance at the last minute. They will presumably then attempt to claim any losses back from Winehouse when they launch that previously reported legal action. Winehouse claimed ill-health for the cancellation, but the festival's organisers say the singer pulled out with very little notice and failed to give an adequate excuse.

Bestival, meanwhile, have a back up plan in case she fails to turn up for her headline slot there on Saturday night, so don't you all worry. As previously reported, head honcho Rob Da Bank wrote on his blog: "Regarding Amy, simply, I do not have any more info as of today. I am in contact with her agent and manager. If she can't do the gig, rest assured I do have a very good back up plan... Have we ever let you down?"
