Four-day rock festival in Peterborough is postponed until next year

Efforts to reschedule later this year at the city’s East of England Arena and Events Centre have been ruled out and the 2020 show will now take place in June 2021 with, where possible, the same line-up.

A spokesman said: “Like everyone, we have been closely following the rapidly changing developments on the coronavirus pandemic.

“It has become clear that we cannot realistically go ahead on the original dates of 18-21 June. The peak of the epidemic in the UK is projected to be in June. Some members of our team will need to self-isolate due to underlying personal health conditions. Disruption and uncertainty affect all aspects of the event.

“We have discussed various options for rescheduling CRF with our partners, including the Showground, artists, contractors, volunteers and staff, and are extremely grateful for everyone’s understanding, support and patience. It’s clear from everyone we’ve talked to that there is an immense desire to make CRF happen!

“Although we have been considering rescheduling to the autumn, this is too dependent on the uncertain progression of the pandemic, the onset of winter for campers, and the availability of the venue and artists. Therefore we have settled on June 2021, with the aim to bring you an even better festival experience.”

Tickets already purchased remain valid and will automatically be accepted for the future event which will be at the East of England Arena although organisers are still awaiting confirmation of the exact date (likely the same weekend).
