DAY ONE OF SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS CANCELLED AFTER WILD WEATHER
Day one of Splendour In The Grass has been cancelled after extreme weather hit the New South Wales town of Byron Bay.
Splendour organisers issued a statement about the decision to cancel performances on the main stages today.
“A significant weather system is currently sitting off the east coast and may reach land later today bringing more rainfall,” the statement said.
“We have decided to err on the side of caution and cancel performances on the main stages today only – Amphitheatre, Mix Up, GW McLennan and Park(lands) Stages.
“Day patrons are asked not to attend the festival today while we work on repairs.
“In the coming week Moshtix will be in contact with the ticket holders affected directly, via the email address used to purchase their ticket, for further information on refunds.
Festival-goers have taken to social media to document their damp devastations as the North Byron Parklands became submerged by water and mud.
These videos were taken just a few hours before Splendour in the Grass organisers decided to SHUT the entrance to their main campgrounds.
More to come.
