Perth’s Tired Lion Caught Up In German Festival Evacuation

Germany’s three-day Hurricane Festival was evacuated over the weekend, with Perth indie rockers Tired Lion having their set cancelled on Friday due to violent weather overrunning the festival site.

As Bild reports, tents were destroyed and pavilions thrown around as heavy rain, winds and thunderstorms forced punters to be evacuated.

The same promoter was also forced to call off Southside festival in Southern Germany, which Tired Lion were scheduled to play on Saturday.

Hurricane was shutdown on Saturday but able to resume on Sunday with headliner sets rescheduled after emergency services were called in to help drain the site.

The annual event set in Scheeße this year celebrated its 20th anniversary, hosting Rammstein, Mumford & Sons, The Prodigy, The Offspring and more to around 75,000 punters.

Tired Lion played Glastonbury Festival yesterday and have a string of other European gigs lined up throughout June and July before heading home to play Splendour In The Grass and Yours & Owls Festival.
