Festival Falls Victim To Torrential Rain

Ashton Court in Bristol is axed...

The second day of the Ashton Court Festival in Bristol was cancelled yesterday after a bout of torrential rain.

Torrential rain in throughout Saturday night and in the early hours of Sunday prompted organisers to make the decision due to safety reasons.

Bands including The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Enter Shikari and Horace Andy were all due to play at the event.

Organiser Steve Hunt said: "The health and safety of our audience is what is important. Although this will be a huge disappointment to the many people who have worked hard to make this festival happen, I am sure we have their support in ensuring the festival is safe for the public."

The Fall, Gravenhurst and the Mad Professor all played the festival on its opening day.
