Manchester Arena is set to re-open in early September following the devastating attack at an Ariana Grande concert last month.
Bosses have been working with promoters of the June, July and August shows, to try and reschedule or find alternative venues.
A spokesman for the Arena said, “Whilst it was always our intention to honour our existing summer events, the damage caused to the main public area outside of the arena has left us with no other option than to remain closed until September.
“We are currently working with the promoters of our June, July and August shows to find suitable solutions for all those events affected by this unprecedented closure.”

This news comes after it was revealed that Ariana Grande will receive honorary citizenchip of Manchester as part of a new plan to recognise those who have made outstanding contributions to the city.
The singer helped to raise millions of pounds for victims and their families after 22 people were killed in a bomb attack at her concert in Manchester last month.
The singer would become the first person to receive the honour, and Manchester city council leader Sir Richard Leese told BBC News that many citizens already see her as one of them.
