Day tickets fans wanting to see the legendary Grace Jones headlining at today's Bluedot Festival are going to be sadly disappointed.

Heavy rainfall yesterday (Saturday) has meant Bluedot Festival organisers are cancelling day tickets for today (Sunday).

A statement said: "It is with the heavy heart that we inform you we are unable to accommodate Sunday day ticket holders.

"If you are a Sunday day ticket holder please don't travel to Bluedot today.

"Weekend ticket holders currently at Jodrell Bank are unaffected . It has been determined that while muddy, the arena ground condition allows us to go ahead with our plans for today's programme but only for people already here at the festival.

"We've had an unpredented amount of rainfall over the past seven days that has seen the water level reach saturation point during the night, rendering our day ticket holder car park, pick-up and drop-off point and entrances impassable due to standing water.

"We have worked hard this weekend and throughout last night, laying over 1.5 km of additional track mat and track way, 130 tonnes of sustainably sourced wood chip and bringing multiple trucks on site to pump out standing water.

"However, despite our continued work throughout the weekend, it has reached a point where it is not possible to accommodate further audience vehicles on site.

"Refunds of day tickets will of course be issued. More information will be shared in the next 48 hours."
