Organisers of Australia’s biggest music festival have urged fans to turn up to the event over the weekend, after main-stage performances were cancelled on Friday.“However don’t let it wash away your spirit! We have waited three long years for this and have worked so hard to bring you the show.Liam Bourke and his four mates spent two evenings in their car after their tents were flooded on Thursday night.
Zar Chavla, 23, who came up with a group of friends from Newcastle on Thursday morning, said if they got through Friday night, “the remaining two days will be OK”. She said her group were more annoyed the organisers said it would go ahead no matter what – before cancelling the first day.“This weather is bad, but it’s pretty unsafe and it was a lot of money.”
