Two dance music events, Stack City Raves and Jika Jika, along with Abba tribute act Arrival and singer-songwriter Ryan McMullan, had all been booked for August 2023.
The council moved to take over the running of concerts and events at Ebrington, and a new process was put in place to invite promoters to apply.
