LEEDS Festival has shared an "devastating" update after winds from Storm Lillian swept across the region and damaged three stages on Friday morning.
Music artists due to perform on two of the stages today and tomorrow will now not be able to do so after a "devastating" update from the festival's health and safety team.
In a post shared on X on Friday, Reading & Leeds Festival said: "Unfortunately the health and safety team have now confirmed we will not be able use the BBC Radio 1 tent and 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.
"On the positive side, we are able to be reasonably sure the Chevron (stage) will be fit to play tomorrow and will be opened by The Useless Hotline at midday."
