Image copyright Oban LiveThe Oban Live festival will not take place next year, its organisers have announced.
Started by the folk rock band Skerryvore in 2015, the event is Argyll’s biggest festival.
The band and the event team said it was “taking a break” amid issues with the venue and doubts over funding from Argyll and Bute Council.
They added the Mossfield Park venue required improvements and questions remained on a potential revamp.
The park is a shinty ground.
Argyll and Bute Council’s depute provost Roddy McCuish said Skerryvore were “100% correct” in saying that improvements to the infrastructure at Mossfield were needed.
But he said the work should be done to benefit shinty first, and then its use for entertainment considered after that.
This year’s Oban Live was held on 7 and 8 June.
Skerryvore, Lucy Spraggan, Elephant Sessions and Be Charlotte were among the acts.
