But with the end of the storm in sight, organisers hope to kick things off 'as soon as possible'
They'll be a delayed start to this weekend's Leeds Festival, organisers have announced, after Storm Lilian battered the site. Strong winds have also led to the closure of two stages on the festival's opening day.
In a statement, organisers said: "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, and there will be no performances on it. We have also lost the Aux stage today, and there will be no performances on it.
