Wollaton Hall and Deer Park
Following the announcement that lockdown easing is being delayed four weeks, organisers have made the difficult decision to postpone Splendour Festival.
This is disappointing to everyone who had plans to attend, but also for all the artists, contractors and staff who count on Splendour for work.
The event will be back for 2022, and plans are already underway, talking to all the acts from this yearâs line-up.
Tickets for this year will be valid for 2022âs festival. This helps to support Splendour and all the fantastic musicians who play at it.
