Music festival called off as storms hit U.K.

The final day of a music festival featuring Snoop Dogg, Bastille and Chase And Status was abandoned on Sunday (10Aug14) after heavy storms hit the U.K. The third day of the Boardmasters event in Newquay, England was due to feature sets by acts including Bastille and George Erza, but it was called off amid high winds and heavy rain.
The storm was reportedly the tail end of former Hurricane Bertha which hit the Caribbean earlier in the week (beg04Aug14).
A statement from festival organisers reads, “We deeply regret the disappointment caused to festival goers on the final day of Boardmasters 2014.”
Reports suggest the site became waterlogged and a number of festival-goers’ tents blew away in the high winds.
