Leeds Festival 2024: Live updates from Saturday as fans go wild for latest act on Main Stage
It’s the second day of Leeds Festival 2024 - and organisers have confirmed that two stages are to remain closed.
The annual Bramham Park event got off to a bumpy start yesterday (August 23) as Storm Lilian caused chaos in the campsite, sending tents flying and overturning portaloos.
The windy weather also meant that three of the main stages had to close, to the disappointment of fans as big-name acts like Skrillex and Beabadoobee had their sets cancelled.
Two of those stages - the BBC Radio 1 stage and the Aux stage - will remain closed today, organisers confirmed.
In a statement posted on X, they said: “Unfortunately the health and safety team have now confirmed we will not be able use the BBC Radio 1 tent & stage tomorrow or Sunday.
“We are devastated for you and of course the artists that were eager to play. That is the same for the Aux stage too. Mother nature has played her part.”
The festival has already seen plenty of excitement, as headliner Liam Gallagher closed out the first day on the main stage last night.
Tonight, rock band Blink 182 are set to headline the Main Stage. The Met Office has said that festivalgoers should expect rain this afternoon.
