UK music festivals hold social media blackout

The Manchester bombing will have consequences on upcoming concerts around the U.K..

Some of the UK’s leading music festivals have announced social media blackouts as a show of sympathy for those affected by yesterday’s terrorist bombing after an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena.

Music festivals like Latitude, Reading and Leeds, Download, Liverpool Sound City and Creamfields will all keep their feeds quiet as a mark of respect for either the next 24 or 48 hours.

For the next 48 hours our social media activity will be silent in sympathy with all those that lost their lives or were injured, physically and/or mentally, by the devastating attack in Manchester last night. Our thoughts are with those affected as well as the emergency services working tirelessly to keep us safe in all that we do. This weekend’s Steel Yard events in London will go ahead as planned, and we are continually liaising with our security and local police to ensure the safety of our customers. We are certain we will not be defeated by such cowardice.
