Storm Lilian's impact on stages at Leeds Festival as Harrogate ticket holders head to exciting music event

In terms of the impact on the stages – whose headliners include Lana Del Rey, Fred Again, Blink-182, Liam Gallagher and Catfish and The Bottlemen - a spokesperson for Leeds Festival said today, Friday: “We can see an end in sight to the high winds.

"We definitely won't be opening the arena at 11am but we are targeting as soon as possible after that and we will update you further.

"However, we have definitely lost the BBC Radio 1 stage today, there will be no performances on it.

"We have also lost the Aux stage today, and there will be no performances on it.

"We remain hopeful that everything else will continue as planned and that we will still have an amazing weekend.”

In terms of the stormy weather, a spokesperson for Leeds Festival said today, Friday: “We’re urging you to stay in your tents if you are onsite and feel safe to do so.

"If you are in your car, please remain there.

“If you are not yet at the festival site, please delay your arrival. We’re expecting it to ease up at 10am and we will update in 30 minutes."
