Music Festivals have been taking a beating this year. The weather has wreaked havoc on festivals including Ultra Miami, Electric Forest, Elements, Bass Canyon, and more. Now we can add Creamfields to the list of those that have delayed opening due to stormy weather and high winds.
Called Storm Lilian, high winds has caused flight cancelations and cut power to hundreds of homes. Yellow warnings for wind are in place on Friday morning and expectations of gusts of up to 80mph. Attendees have been told to sit in their cars and not their tents. They are also not letting in anyone as of Friday morning until the winds have calmed down.
Tents have been seen flying away. The Leeds Festival stated on X that it would be unable to open the main arena on time and would not be opening the BBC Radio 1 or Aux stages at all on Friday. According to meteorologists, the high winds should pass by nighttime and the rest of the weekend should be a success.
This year’s lineup includes ARTBAT, Armin van Buuren, Calvin Harris, CamelPhat, Eric Prydz, Franky Wah, Gorgon City, John Summit, Meduza, Pete Tong, Solomun, Tiësto and many more
