Second day of Fever Pitch Music Festival at Galway Airport cancelled 'due to high winds'

Day two of the Fever Pitch Music Festival in Co Galway has been cancelled due to high winds.

Major acts including Gavin James, Hermitage Green and DJ Jenny Greene were set to perform at tonight’s gig.

Fever Pitch Music Festival said on its Facebook page: "It is with deep regret we must announce that we must cancel the second day of Fever Pitch festival due to high winds.

"Our whole team has been working incredibly hard all day to put a show in place but sadly this has not been possible.

"Working in line with expected weather conditions and wind speeds which had been expected to drop we had hoped to put the show on at a later start time of 7pm.

"As the safety of our customers is paramount to us we have had to make the difficult decision of closing the event site as the wind speeds have not dropped as expected.

"Please do not come to the event site.

"We are devastated by this news and thank you for your patience and support with this decision. More information to follow."

A video shared in the comments underneath the statement showed portaloos on site blown over by the winds.

Gavin James shared his disappointment with a video of him being blown away.

The musician tweeted: "Galway... sadly fever pitch has been cancelled.

"It's far too windy and we can't have the stage blowing away coz that would be horrendous.

"Time for a Guinness to drown the sorrows.. see you all very soon x."
