Leeds Festival Faces Disruption from Storm Lilian

Leeds Festival has temporarily closed two stages due to high winds from Storm Lilian, with gusts expected to reach up to 80mph in northern England and Wales. The BBC Radio 1 Stage and Aux Stage will not host performances today, as festival-goers are advised to remain in their tents or vehicles due to dangerous conditions. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, predicting significant travel disruptions and risks from flying debris. Attendees have reported damage to their tents, with some expressing frustration over the storm's impact on their festival experience. Organizers are hopeful conditions will improve later in the day to continue the festivities. The festival features headliners including Liam Gallagher and Lana Del Rey, running from August 21 to 25.
