It is another day and another cancelled events. This time, West London’s Lovebox has joined a long list of musical events that have to call it quit because of the severe pandemic of Coronavirus throughout the world.

Previously, Lovebox planned to return this year for its 19th annual festival. It was scheduled to kick off for three days as usual from June 12 to 14 at Gunnersbury Park in West London, with around 10,000 capacity.

Back in December 2019, the festival broke the news that Tyler, the Creator would be headlining. Following the ‘IGOR‘ rapper, Robyn, Disclosure, Khalid, and Charli XCX appeared in the list of numerous artists to perform at the festival.

However, the organisers took to the online world, announcing that Lovebox will come back “stronger than ever” next year. The new dates are June 11-13 at the same location.

Those who already purchased the tickets for this year will be contacted back for refund. Meanwhile, the tickets can be used to attend the 2021 edition.

Lovebox has been another cancelled music festival in the UK this year because of the outbreak of Coronavirus. The announcement was made not long after the cancellation of Download, Isle of Wight, The Great Escape, All Points East, and Glastonbury. Nevertheless, Glasgow’s TRNSMT has been the sole festival that decides to continue holding its 2020 edition in spite of the virus crisis.
