C2C Festival has postponed its London, Glasgow and Dublin dates due to growing concerns over the coronavirus crisis.
In a statement sent to NME, the country music festival said that “due to the global pandemic of COVID-19 and the changing nature of travel policies in other countries alongside possible extended future restrictions, it is with regret that Country to Country Festival 2020 – London, Dublin and Glasgow – is being postponed.”
C2C was due to take place March 13-15 with headliners Darius Rucker, Luke Combs and Eric Church. Additional artists on the bill included the Cadillac Three, the Shires, Brett Young and Tanya Tucker.

C2C is the latest festival to be affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Coachella announced earlier this week that it will be postponed until October. It comes after SXSW was officially cancelled last week.
Elsewhere, artists such as The Who, Green Day, Pearl Jam, My Chemical Romance, Madonna and Foals have all been forced to either cancel or postpone planned shows in territories across the world in recent weeks.
