It is one of four festivals in the region that had hinted it would return "later than planned" following the government's announcement to ease lockdown restrictions.

Let's Rock Norwich saw 12,000 people attend in 2019.

A spokesman said: "Things are moving in the right direction and the well-being of our audience, staff and artists are our number one priority.

"With that in mind we would like to thank you all for your patience and we can now confirm that Let's Rock Norwich which was scheduled for Saturday 29th May 2021 will now be postponed to Saturday 25th September 2021.

"Many thanks to all our friends and supporters for staying the course with us! Without your support and goodwill things would have looked very different for us right now and this is something that we will never take for granted and can assure you that we will be celebrating in style when we get back on that field."
