Jack Up The Summer Festival 2020 cancelled due to coronavirus - full ticket information

The Jack Up The Summer festival was due to be held between August 7 and 9 but today organisers announced the event would be postponed until 2021.

The family-friendly retro festival will now take place on August 6-8 2021. Tickets purchased for this year’s event will be rolled over to next year’s edition.

Soul diva Heather Small and iconic 80s electro-pop band Heaven 17 were scheduled to grace the stage at North Fairlee Farm. Both acts are among those already confirmed for the 2021 festival.

In a statement organisers said: ‘We would like to say a huge thank you all for your patience and understanding as we have been navigating our way through this difficult and challenging scenario.

‘To ensure your safety and overall enjoyment of our event, it is with the heaviest of hearts we have no option but to postpone this year’s planned Jack Up The Summer festival. However the show will go on – when it is safe to do so.

‘Jack Up is a true labour of love for our small team, and after the many months of work which have already gone into planning the event, being unable to share it with you this year is utterly heartbreaking.

‘We know you will be just as disappointed as we are but with everything that’s going on in the world right now, we hope you can appreciate that this is the right thing to do.’
