After losing a High Court ruling which stated that they don't have correct planning permission for the events, Brockwell Live confirm their festivals are still set to go ahead.

The issue came up after somebody took legal action against Lambeth Council, suggesting that Brockwell Park Live didn't have correct planning permission for their events, and subsequently crowdfunding over £31,000 in order to start legal battle against them.
