A number of people have been injured in a crowd surge at Boardmasters music festival in Newquay.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the surge at Watergate Bay left a small number of attendees hurt.
“The injured parties are currently being treated on-site by medical staff or have been taken to hospital to be checked over,” the force said. “None of the injuries are considered serious. This is an isolated incident and the festival continues.”
In posts responding to concerned parents on X, the festival organisers said the planned set by DJ and producer Sammy Virji was cancelled.
Boardmasters said: “Sammy Virji’s set was cancelled this evening to allow our on-site teams to respond to a crowd surge. No serious injuries have been reported and our pit and medical teams responded immediately to assist those involved.
“Safety is our number one priority and we thank Sammy and our audience for their understanding. All other stages have been unaffected and performances continue as planned.”
