Organizers Provide Important Update for Leeds Festival Attendees
Leeds Festival attendees were met with an important update from festival organizers regarding the status of certain stages at the event. Due to strong winds impacting the festival site, the Chevron, BBC Radio 1, and Aux stages were initially closed for the day as a safety precaution. However, the latest update from organizers reveals that the BBC Radio 1 tent and stage, as well as The Aux stage, will remain closed for the entirety of the weekend.
In a statement issued on X, formerly Twitter, organizers expressed their disappointment over the closure of the stages, stating, “Unfortunately the health and safety team have now confirmed we will not be able to 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.”
Despite the setback, organizers assured attendees that The Chevron stage is expected to be operational for the remainder of the weekend, with The Useless Hotline slated to kick off the performances at midday tomorrow. As festival-goers adjust to the changes in schedules, it’s important to stay informed and prepared for any further updates from the organizers.
