THE Labour Party’s new festival dubbed “JezFest” has flopped today after fields were left empty and an anti-Brexit protest interrupted Jeremy Corbyn's speech.

The party was forced to cut prices for Labour Live from £35 to £10 following poor sales and organisers gave hundreds away for free to activists and union members.

And pro-EU campaigners unfurled a huge 'Stop backing Brexit' banner and forced the Labour leader to pause his speech as they belted out remainer chants.

Reports earlier this week suggested that only 3,000 tickets out of the 20,000 available, but following a last-minute ads blitz, the party said they had shifted 13,000.

Organisers had desperately tried to recreate the warm reception given to Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury last year and booked famous musicians for the North London event.

However, supporters still claimed the event was a success and said the “Solidarity Tent” was “packed”, with chair of the party Ian Lavery adding it was a “great turnout”.

And despite photographs showing a poor turnout and the party losing thousands of pounds, bosses vowed to bring Labour Live back next year.

Mr Lavery declared: "There will be a Labour Live next year and it will be twice as big."

And one Labour source told The Sun Online: "We'll do much better in future years."

Performers at the festival included Levi Roots, the musician who invented Reggae Reggae Sauce, comedian Eddie Izzard and musicians Clean Bandit and the Magic Numbers.

There were also appearances from senior Labour figures including Corbyn, John McDonnell and David Lammy.

And union baron Len McCluskey manned an ice-cream van whose jingle was socialist anthem The Red Flag.

Most Labour MPs stayed away - and sources close to London Mayor Sadiq Khan suggested he hadn't even been invited.

And attendees were left baffled by some bizarre lectures including one where the speaker vowed to "take Britain back to the 1970s".

After images of the event circulated online, people were quick to mock the event on Twitter.

One critic wrote: "Sadly, there was a bigger and more appreciative crowd for @levirootsmusic when he visited my small daughter’s infant school."

Another joked: "Stand by for crowd added, photoshopped images from #LabourLive. Abbott is providing estimation of attendees, so at least a million.”

Entrance to the festival was initially set at £35 for adults, £30 for concessions and £10 for children.

The party did not say if it would be offering refunds to adults who had paid the full price.

Prime Minister Theresa May ridiculed Labour over the festival plans in the Commons this week.

She told MPs that shadow chancellor John McDonnell and the Magic Numbers are among those appearing at the event, adding: "Just about sums them up."

Singer Rae Morris, indie band Reverend And The Makers and Sex Pistol Glen Matlock are all on the bill for the festival.
