LONDON The Edinburgh International Festival, a showcase of international dance, music and theater, will go ahead in front of audiences this August, the festival’s organizers said on Tuesday.
The festival, which normally floods the city with tourists, was canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. But events will be staged Aug. 7-29 in three pavilions across Edinburgh, Fergus Linehan, the festival’s director, said in a telephone interview.

One of the greatest allures of any city is the variety of festivals on offer for domestic and foreign revelers alike. Festivals have been an intrinsic part of our social and cultural histories for millennia. Many of us have encountered them over the years, whether in the realms of music, art, food, film, nature, sports or culture. Indeed, there is a certain thrill that emanates from the vibe of a festival the masses bonding in common celebration, curiosities piqued by thought-provoking or ethereal experiences, and the etching of a lifetime of memories in the process.
A review is expected to be launched into Greensill Capital, the collapsed financial firm for which David Cameron lobbied ministers.
The former prime minister has accepted he should have communicated with the Government “through only the most formal of channels” rather than text messages to chancellor Rishi Sunak as he acknowledged mis-steps over the controversy.
Breaking his weeks of silence, the former Conservative prime minister said in a statement to the PA news agency that having “reflected on this at length” he accepts there are “important lessons to be learnt”.
No 10 sources confirmed a review will be launched into Greensill, although details of the investigation have not yet been released.
