It might be a disappointment, but it can't be much of a surprise.

Following 2019's news that the following year's edition of the Live at the Marquee season would be its last at its current location, and mass postponements in the wake of the ongoing Covid crisis last year, promoters, Aiken Promotions, have today confirmed that the 2021 lineup is being moved back again to the summer of next year.

In a statement on their website, the company said:

"Aiken Promotions can today confirm that we are currently working to reschedule Live At The Marquee to 2022. Some shows have already been rescheduled and we will bring you more updates on a show-by-show basis, Thank you for your patience."

Pet Shop Boys are one of the acts that have been postponed until 2022.

Major names rescheduled for Live at the Marquee 2022, include legends such as Sinéad O'Connor, the Pet Shop Boys, and Orbital, as well as regular Marquee favourites Christy Moore and The Coronas.

Those with tickets can hold onto them for the rescheduled dates, or get a refund.
