Punters abandon Download Festival before it’s started due to heavy rain and mud as Isle of Wight festival hit by tornado

Fans have trudged out of the rock weekender in Nottingham while music-lovers were forced to endure a tornado at the Isle of Wight festival.This huge funnel cloud was spotted by photographer Jamie Russell over Chale on the Isle of Wightwith heavy showers expected to continue throughout the weekend.

Forecaster Mark Wilson told The Sun Online: "Temperatures will be higher than we've seen and could even reach 19C in the South East - but the wet weather will continue until Tuesday."Punters paid hundreds for tickets to see headliners Def Leppard, Slipknot and Tool take to the stage at Donnington Park.On social media music lovers have even called the festival "Drownload" as crowds battle the deluge.

One gutted fan, who had spent £600 on the weekend, said: “We couldn't have afforded a hotel, we couldn't afford to drive home and then back up today.My hips were dislocating from slipping on the mud as we walked in even with wellies. I can't handle itSamantha Gibben said she left the festival because of the thick mud caused by the deluge.: “We had a perfectly watertight tent. Nothing was leaking. But left because of the mud. It's that bad less than a day in.

“I'll never survive. My hips were dislocating from slipping on the mud as we walked in even with wellies. I can't handle it.”

Absolute complete and utter snowflakes ....

Complete bollocks there was no tornado at the IOW Festival. There was a funnel cloud a day before the festival started and that was no where near the site!

What a load of crap! Trust not to get their facts right again. Whoever sent them the story should be sacked!
