The Longitude Festival has been cancelled for 2021 due to Covid-19.

The festival had been due to take place at Marlay Park from July 2 to 4.

Organisers said they are “devastated” that the festival has been cancelled for the second year in a row due to the pandemic.

“Following the government’s most recent announcement it has become clear that we simply will not be able to make Longitude happen this year due to Covid-19 restrictions, and it is with great regret that we must announce that this year’s festival will not take place,” said a statement.

“We are so sorry to the thousands of people who bought tickets to this year’s festival and are absolutely devastated that, once again, we won’t be able to welcome you all to Marlay Park this Summer.”
