Rain continues to wreak havoc on festival-goers in Australia, as Splendour In The Grass its day one program

Organisers of Splendour In The Gras have confirmed the first day of its three-day music festival has been cancelled.

The event is being held in Byron Bay, on Australia’s east coast but fans have been soaked by the ongoing downpour, which has forced many to camp inside their cars.

“A significant weather system is currently sitting off the east coast and may reach land later today bringing more rainfall.”

While organisers begun moving some patrons to nearby festival grounds, thousands were still given camping sites within the Parklands area.

Attendees have described the event’s management as “disgusting”, with others saying their experience was the “grimmest night of my life”.

Organisers told those who were still queueing to turn around at around 9am local time on Friday.

In the coming weeks, the festival’s organisers will be in contact with affected ticket holders.

“Please be assured that our event team is working very hard to provide the best experience possible under the current circumstances,” event organisers said.

The festival is expected to go ahead as planned this weekend, with organisers confirming Saturday and Sunday programming will remain.

More rain is forecast in the coming days, with relief not set to arrive until Monday.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
