The entire
music festival season is in jeopardy as three more major events are called off
•
Coronavirus and culture – a list of major cancellations
The music festival season continues to collapse amid the coronavirus crisis, with Manchester’s Parklife as well as London’s All Points East and Lovebox festivals all now cancelled.
In a statement, All Points East organisers said: “Alongside the now enforced period of social isolation, the government has stated that emergency services will not be able to support major events. Furthermore, the projected strain that is being placed on the NHS will push this institution and its staff to levels never seen before. It is therefore inconceivable for us to add any distraction to these organisations.”
