Parklife organisers have issued an update after all music was stopped at the festival.
The festival was brought to a halt at 4pm this afternoon due to thunderstorms and "local lightning strikes". Fans at The Valley stage were told to ‘move three metres’ away from large structures this afternoon as dark clouds graced the sky ahead of warned thunderstorms, the MEN reports.
Festival goers were also warned not to use their mobile phones or hold up metal objects or selfie sticks whilst the storm brewed overhead.
