A mother, who had been excited to attend the Boardmasters music festival in Newquay with her family, was left shaken by a terrifying experience last Friday. She reported a massive issue with overcrowding and expressed her frustration at the lack of action from security personnel. According to her, the festival started off well, but as the day progressed, the crowd became increasingly packed and difficult to navigate through. She and her family attempted to leave the area, but found themselves trapped due to the continuous influx of people.
Desperate to escape the chaos, the mother and her daughter pushed towards the outer edge of the crowd near the barriers. However, even there, they were met with no relief as they were informed by a security person that the situation was out of control. The mother expressed her disappointment in the lack of action taken by the security team, despite the clear danger that the overcrowding posed to festival-goers.
In a terrifying turn of events, the mother and her daughter were suddenly caught in a massive crowd surge, causing them to be crushed against the barriers. In a moment of quick thinking, the mother managed to lift her daughter over the barriers and pull herself out to safety. Unfortunately, this incident resulted in the cancellation of a scheduled performance by DJ and producer Sammy Virji.
The Devon and Cornwall police were alerted of the situation and released a statement assuring that the small number of injuries sustained by attendees were not serious. They also stated that the festival would continue as planned. Boardmasters also released a statement, confirming the cancellation of Sammy Virji's set and the closure of the Point stage to allow for immediate assistance to those affected by the incident. They emphasized their commitment to the safety of their audience and thanked them for their understanding. Despite this isolated incident, all other stages and performances continued as scheduled.
