THE organisers of Taunton’s Live in Somerset have announced they will not be taking live music to Vivary Park this year, as COVID-19 restrictions in the UK show no signs of easing any time soon.
LCC Live have hosted a series of shows in the park since 2014 – featuring stars such as Tom Jones, Scouting for Girls, Kaiser Chiefs, Status Quo, Will Young and Paloma Faith.
Director Les Kidger said: “We’re so disappointed that we won’t be able to host live music in Taunton this summer. Shows such as Live in Somerset take a considerable amount of time to put together, and with the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision not to put on any live shows this year. Instead, we’re focusing on 2022.
“We’re in talks with a number of artists for shows next year. What is clear is that they are all really missing touring and seeing their fans, so there is a desire to put on live shows as soon as it is safe to do so.”
