Boardmasters Music Festival Cancelled Due To Bad Weather

People are fuming after Boardmasters Music Festival was cancelled due to bad weather.

The festival was boasting a mega line up of Florence and the Machine, Rudimental, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender, Foals, Bugzy Malone, Mabel, Giggs, Jax Jones, Ocean Alley and more.

Festival organisers have released a statement, explaining the whole situation.

"Following full consultation with all of the relevant authorities including independent safety advisors, Devon and Cornwall Police, emergency services and the Met Office, a final decision was made this evening," the statement read.

"The safety of you, the fans and attendees, as well as performers and crew comes first, and the potential risk is too severe for the event to go ahead at this time.

"Refund advice will be shared as soon as possible - please follow Boardmasters' social media for official updates.

"We sincerely regret the disappointment to fans, and apologise for any disruption caused to local businesses, performers and crew who were looking forward to Boardmasters as much as we were."
