Boardmasters day three cancelled due to “severe weather conditions”

The third day of Boardmasters Festival in Cornwall (Sunday 10th August) has been cancelled due to this weekend’s “severe weather conditions.” The news follows a warning earlier in the day that organisers needed to delay opening the site to “assess the impact of the wind.”

A statement made on the festival’s website reads: “In light of the extreme weather conditions caused by hurricane Bertha, today’s events at Watergate Bay have been cancelled. The international surf competition will be going ahead at the Fistral Beach, as planned.

“Your safety and wellbeing is our primary concern and we have decided that the magnitude of the conditions is too severe for the arena site to be opened.We deeply regret the disappointment caused and look forward to Boardmasters 2015. Keep checking back for refund, travel and further information.”

Having already hosted sets from headliners Chase & Status (Friday) and Snoop Dogg (Saturday), today’s bill was going to be topped by Bastille, with Peace, George Ezra, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Mø, Breton and more also due to appear.
