Bonnaroo, the Tennesse arts and music festival, has postponed next year's event for a third time, and will now take place in September.

Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival was originally set to go ahead this month after being pushed back from June this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. The event was then called off completely in 2020, with a 2021 festival planned for June next year. Yesterday (29 September) organisers confirmed that the 2021 event has been delayed once again, this time until September 2021.

Organisers have encouraged people who have 2021 tickets to keep hold of them for the new dates. They also added that "refunds will be available for those who cannot attend".

The original dates for Bonnaroo 2021 have changed. Bonnaroo will now take place on Sept. 2-5, 2021. Stay tuned for info on lineup, camping + more. We encourage you to rollover your tickets to the new dates, but refunds will be available for those who cannot attend. pic.twitter.com/i78MnMITdY
