A drive-in concert series set to open in Newmarket next month has been cancelled by organisers.
Live Nation Entertainment was due to promote a programme of live concerts and theatre shows at Newmarket Racecourse. However, the Utilita Live From the Drive-In series has now been cancelled by organisers over concerns of localised lockdowns.
The drive-in shows were due to take place at 12 venues across the country, including Liverpool, Bolton, Bristol, Milton Keynes and Lincoln. Northaw in Hertfordshire was the event’s ‘London’ venue, with Birmingham, Cheltenham, Edinburgh, Leeds and Teesside also on the tour.

An update from Rewind Festival regarding next month’s Live From the Drive In dates.
The Live From The Drive In concert series will no longer proceed as planned this summer.
We received huge support from artists, the live music production contractors, our headline sponsor Utilita along with our other partners, and of course you, the fans.
However the latest developments regarding localised lockdowns mean it has become impossible for us to continue with the series with any confidence.
We thank everyone for their support and eagerly await a time when we can watch live music together again.
Full refunds will be issued directly to all ticket holders within the next 7 days.
