The festival has said it is working closely with ticketing partners at the moment to process refunds or carry tickets over to next year’s festival, depending on each person’s individual preference.
They have told ticket holders to look out for an email for their ticketing agent “very soon” and have asked people to only contact agents if they have not heard anything within the next five days.
This year’s festival would have been the event’s tenth edition, with headliners due to appear included Tyler, the Creator, Skepta, Anderson. Paak, Jorja Smith, Hot Chip, Lewis Capaldi, Khalid and Giggs.
The event will return next year on June 12th and 13th 2021.
