London music festivals insist they will go ahead despite a High Court ruling that found the use of parts of the park as an event space for more than 28 days was 'irrational'.
The ruling was welcomed by Protect Brockwell Park campaigners as well as Dunkirk actor Sir Mark Rylance, who said in a statement issued by the group that it was 'wonderful news' and that 'every small victory for nature makes a difference'.
However, a spokesperson for the planned music festivals due to take place this month said they will not be cancelled.
Brockwell Park in Lambeth hosts a series of events called Brockwell Live, attracting hundreds of thousands of people to six festivals, including Mighty Hoopla, with artists including Kesha and former Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall due to perform this year.
Last week, Rebekah Shaman, a resident in the area successfully brought legal action against Lambeth Council over the use of parts of the park for the festivals, which this year are due to begin on May 23.
