The economic downturn and high costs have forced organizers for Scotland’s Hydro Connect Festival to cancel plans for this years event.

The festival, which would have been in its third year, will be postponed until 2010.

Organizers for the festival, which takes place in the grounds of Inveraray Castle in Argyll, Scotland, told NME.com that “The fact that Connect’s audience is arguably affected more by the credit crunch than some other festival markets, means that it would be foolish for us to expect the growth necessary to help Connect thrive in 2009.”

In the past, the festival has played host to Franz Ferdinand and Sigur Rós.

Manic Street Preachers have announced the forthcoming release of a new album featuring lyrics written my missing member Richey Edwards.

NME is reporting that the band will release the nine-track album sometime in spring 2009.

Journal For Plaugue Lovers‘ was produced by Steve Albini and will feature only lyrics written by Edwards.

Edwards wrote the lyrics before he went missing in 1995.

Bassist Nicky Wire told NME that after holding on to the lyrics for over 14 years they “felt compelled that this was the right time to do it.”

“There’s a small amount of editing involved, because some of them [Edwards-written passages] are prose and they needed to be made into lyrics, but they’re all Richey’s.”
