Glastonbury Festival 2020 has officially been postponed amid growing concerns over the coronavirus outbreak.

Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar were due to appear, alongside Diana Ross and Dua Lipa, for the festival's 50th anniversary celebration.

In a Tweet on their official Twitter handle, the organisers said tickets will be rolled over until June 2021, when the festival has been rescheduled.

Those wishing for a refund can also apply for one.
