The shows will see Matt on June 12th and Bombay Bicycle Club on June 14th are canceled outright. Maribu State's June 20th gig got bumped to August 31st, all to safeguard the park's grounds from heavy foot traffic. Organizers AEG Presents, who run big ones like All Points East in BST Hyde Park, say last year's event kicked up serious dust problems.

But a super rainy winter means the turf needs more time to toughen up before handling a full three day crowd. Fans are feeling the pinch, with travel plans disrupted and excitement dashed. Seamatch shared she's gutted and superstar to fans who snag tickets. Organizers stress this ain't on the artists or the local Tower Hamlets Council. Everyone's on board, and community funding stays locked in. Men holders for the drop dates can grab refunds straight from the Lido site.
