Futurama<\/a><\/strong>, the post-punk and electronic music festival due to take place in Liverpool on September 11-12, has been postponed until 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Originally due to take place in April this year, it was put back to September due to continuing Covid-19 restrictions .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the organisers have been forced to delay it again, until the Easter weekend of April 16-17, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ground-breaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The original Futurama was a series of ground-breaking and innovative festivals held in Leeds in the late ’70s\/early ’80s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty years on, it’s moved to Liverpool, with the revived event set to feature sets from Heaven 17, Spear Of Destiny, A Certain Ratio, Peter Hook & The Light, The Chameleons and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement the organisers said: \u201cWe apologise for the inconvenience, but the increasing Covid infection rate, plus the latest delay in lifting restrictions without the necessary assurances and guidance from the Government, has made it impossible to put the festival on this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hesitant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s the news that many expected but few wanted. But it did become obvious during the long, dark months of lockdown that even if a green light was given on June 21, people would still be hesitant, and rightly so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Despite the government saying [restrictions will be lifted on] July 19, we know people have changed, and it will take a little time to restore confidence and feel secure inside indoor events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore than anything, we want Futurama to be free of all restrictions. We want it to be a celebration of freedom, we want people to be able to fully immerse themselves in the festival and to be able to wander around all our great venues, watching bands, eating and drinking, without having to worry about safety precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That’s what a festival is all about; having a great time, interacting with music fans and we don\u2019t think we can produce that special atmosphere this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are all longing for Futurama to return and we can wholeheartedly promise to deliver the greatest post-punk festival this country has seen in over four decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost bands have reconfirmed for next year, and the ones that can’t make it will be replaced by just as good bands, as we have been inundated with acts to play the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"heaven
Heaven 17 are one of the headliners of Futurama 2022.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“The good news is we\u2019re happy to confirm that tickets for this year\u2019s festival will automatically be rolled over to 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If you\u2019re not able to join us in 2022, you\u2019ll be able to claim a face value refund on all tickets. We\u2019re working closely with our ticketing partners, and they will be in touch with instructions on the next steps within 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank you again for your continued support. For now, keep safe, keep healthy and look after each other. The Futurama Team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
