The Route of Kings concerts, due to take place in Hyde Park next month, has come under threat. Shows involving Blue, Roxy Music, Jools Holland, Simply Red and Paul Weller may now not happen because the concerts' promoter is embroiled in a financial dispute with the organisation that runs London's parks.
A spokesman for the Royal Parks said: "The first payment for the staging of the concerts had not been paid by promoters Triple A Entertainment. As far as we are concerned, Triple A have not provided the first stage payment so they do not have a licence. It was today that we took the decision - we informed them they did not have an agreement with us. We would never say never. We are obviously trying to make sure these events do happen as people enjoy going to events in Hyde Park."
The dispute will not affect Party in the Park, Pride in the Park and planned Bon Jovi and Shania Twain concerts.
