Thousands of people from across the world descend on the Welsh town each July for the musical event.

But with world travel in lockdown and following the latest Government advice about the coronavirus pandemic, organisers say they have postponed the 74th event that should have been held in July.

Among the stars taking part were to have been Aled Jones and Russell Watson pop stars James Morrison, Will Young and Wolverhampton's Beverley Knight .

Pippa Lea from the Eisteddfod, said: "Our founding mission was to bring diverse people together through shared music and dance experiences; it’s disheartening to put on hold what we do best. We would like to apologise to those who have been affected by our postponement and thank audiences for their understanding.
