‘Move away’: Leeds Festival stage The Warehouse ‘closed’ as festivalgoers urged to avoid it

A stage at Leeds Festival has been “closed” as attendees are urged to avoid it.

The popular event is on-going at Bramham Park this weekend. Fans have managed to enjoy themselves despite the stormy weather.

However, one of the stages has been shut today and people are being warned to avoid it on Saturday (August 29).

Artists who were due to perform have hit out at the closure of the stage. “I’m absolutely gutted” one act told their fans on social media.

In a post on the official Leeds Festival app, attendees are being urged to stay away from the dance music stage.

The news flash, which has been seen by the YEP, said: “The Warehouse is closed. Please move away from The Warehouse.”

An Oxfam volunteer told the YEP reporters at the festival: “My understanding of it is that the tent was very full, people were not playing ball, and the decision was made to stop the show so no one got hurt.”

In an update around 5pm, the Leeds app confirmed that the Locky set at The Warehouse has been cancelled. Disappointing news for those who were excited!

The Warehouse is described as a purpose-built home for dance music where energy is stored. Featuring a dedicated viewing platform putting you closer to the music than ever before.
