Organisers of Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park festival have had to reschedule this summer’s tour but the St Albans event will go ahead on the original dates as planned.
The fabulous food and music festival is due to visit St Albans for a second time in September.
Celebrity chef Tom Kerridge announced on Tuesday the decision to reschedule this year’s Pub in the Park summer tour following advice and in the interest of everyone’s health, wellbeing and confidence.
The Pub in the Park 2020 tour will now run from mid-August.
Despite having to rearrange festival dates due to the coronavirus pandemic, Kerridge and his chef mates will still visit Verulamium Park on the original dates – from Friday, September 11 to Sunday, September 13.
Kerridge said: “We would like to thank the chefs, restaurants, venues, local authorities, artists and many of our other contributors who have shown their unwavering support of Pub in the Park to enable us to rearrange our plans.
“In the meantime, we want you all to keep healthy and look after each other.”
The vast majority of the music, including headline acts, chef and restaurant line-up, will remain the same across the tour.
Any minor alterations will be announced in due course.
The St Albans music line-up is scheduled to feature a DJ set from Basement Jaxx on the Friday night.
Lightning Seeds will headline the Saturday afternoon session, with All Saints topping the bill later that evening.
The Sunday afternoon musical entertainment will be provided by Reef and Gabrielle, with more acts to be announced across the weekend.

• Chichester, venue TBC, August 14-16.
