The summer extravaganza’s organisers have confirmed that the series of concerts, which were due to be headlined by the likes of James Blunt and Bananarama and take place between July 7 and July 11 at London’s Royal Botanical Kew Gardens, have been rescheduled for 2021, with Jack Savoretti the only artist unable to make their new dates.
In a statement, they said: "Our number one priority at this time is the health and wellbeing of our customers, crew and artists.
