Soundwave, Good Life Halted Due To Sydney Storm

Sydney's Soundwave Festival was halted around 4pm local time this afternoon as a ferocious storm swept over Sydney.

Completed at odds to the searing temperature experienced in the morning, the festival at Sydney Olympic Park — as well as Future's under 18s sister festival Goodlife at Randwick Racecourse — was through into chaos when the storm hit.

Bands were pulled off the main stages in the interest of safety.

It is understood All Time Low were playing when organisers made the decision to halt proceedings.

Damn, that was so much fun Sydney! I'm so sorry we had to cut the set short because of the weather. Super bummed we didn't get a full set...

DJ Timmy Trumpet is reporting that Goodlife has now been cancelled. The festival, however, is saying on Facebook that the event will resume while the storm has passed.

According to an eyewitness report, the whole side of a stage blew out at Goodlife and the festival has been shut down and moved to a safer area.

The eastern fence and structures in particular took a battering.
