- London's Lido Festival has been forced to reschedule, cancelling two of its three scheduled days in June.
- The festival, originally set for Victoria Park, east London, will now proceed as a single-day event on Monday, 31 August.
- The change was made to protect the park's ground conditions, which were recently reseeded after last summer's drought and experienced a very wet winter.
- Artists such as CMAT, Father John Misty, Sharon Van Etten, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Metronomy will no longer perform, with only Maribou State's bill going ahead.
- Ticket-holders for the cancelled dates will receive full refunds, with artists expressing disappointment over the impact on fans.
