The Boardmasters festival has been cancelled due to a severe weather warning.
The three-day event was due to take place in Newquay, Cornwall, at the weekend.
However, organisers say the cancellation was necessary due to ‘forecasted severe weather conditions.’
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for a large part of England and Wales on Friday and Saturday. Heavy rain and thunderstorms have been forecast.
Florence + The Machine and the Foals were due to headline the event.
