None of the injuries are considered serious
Several people have been injured following a crowd surge at Boardmasters music festival in Newquay on Friday night.
The incident left a small number of festival-goers injured and they are either being treated on-site by medical staff or have been taken to hospital to be checked over. None of the injuries are considered serious.
This is an isolated incident and the festival continues.
A spokesperson from Boardmasters said: “We can confirm that Sammy Virji’s set was cancelled and that the Point stage was closed to allow on-site teams to respond to an incident in the audience.
“No serious injuries have been reported and the pit and medical teams immediately assisted 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.”
DJ Samuel Bashir Virji took to social media to express his disappointment but to also praise the staff at Boardmasters festival. His set was cancelled but none of the injuries following the incident are thought to be serious.
