Organisers of two of the UK’s biggest music festivals, Reading and Leeds, say 2021 will be “worth the wait” after confirming this year’s events have been cancelled.
The three-day twin festivals were due to take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, with Stormzy, Liam Gallagher and Rage Against The Machine as the headline acts.
They are the latest of many festivals and tours – including Glastonbury – to be called off because of coronavirus.
“We were hopeful we could deliver the ultimate festival to you, something to look forward to in these strange and confusing times,” organisers said.
“However, it has become clear that it’s just not possible for this year’s festival to go ahead.”
