Creeper and Dinosaur Pile-Up headlining those nights respectively.Other acts on the line-up included Cassyette, Hell Is For Heroes, Dream State and Terrorvision.In a statement shared online this week, bosses wrote: “After careful consideration, we regret to announce the postponement of this year’s Takedown Festival due to take place at Portsmouth Guildhall on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 April.“Building works currently being undertaken at the Grade II listed venue to transform the basement of the Guildhall into one of the most innovative creative spaces for young people in the country have now been extended across the festival dates, resulting in the loss of two key areas of the festival site and a reduction in capacity, which combined with challenging trading conditions have sadly left the event unviable for this year.”Organisers went on to confirm that Takedown would return in 2025.

They said they hoped to secure “much of this year’s line-up carried forward” to the next edition.The message continued: “We are currently in talks with all of the bands to see if this is possible for them.
