DIY promoters Lost Property and the Arts Council were criticised by the Taxpayer's Alliance for putting on a 'gimmiky' festival in Newhaven.
The festival brought together fans and experimental musicans from across the UK and around the world in Abandoned Fort last September.
The event was critically acclaimed and tickets sold out well in advance. But the organisers failed to get funding from the Arts Council to do it again.
