Live At Leeds has been moved to November 28th.
In a statement, organisers have promised the ‘majority’ of the line-up, which originally included Pale Waves, The Coral and Spector and which had been due in Leeds’ city centre next month, will be there come November, though headliners DMA’s have been removed from the bill due to scheduling conflicts.
“We made the difficult decision to reschedule the event, originally planned for May 2nd, following government guidelines and advice regarding the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic,” the statement reads.
“The health and safety of our audience, artists, staff and crew is our priority, and given these extraordinary circumstances, it has become clear to us that the safe and sensible decision is to reschedule the 2020 edition of Live At Leeds to take place in autumn.”
“This is the first time in 13 years we’ve had to move Live At Leeds, and doing so brings significant challenges for the festival and the artists alike. But though this virus has brought unprecedented disruption across all industries and around the world, we are determined that it won’t stop us providing you with the event we all deserve when this is over.”
