Reading Festival has vowed the event will go ahead, despite damage to parts of their site from all those recent floods.

Organiser Melvin Benn told NME "I'd guess about 25% of the campsite is under water and before long someone will say the festival is in danger, so I just wanted to say that the festival will definitely take place. The water levels are going down and we've got loads of plans in place to move the campsites and parking if necessary..

Welsh festival Fflam has been cancelled completely due to bad weather and a lack of availability of bands. Originally sustained heavy rainfall was blamed on the postponement of the Swansea event on the 13-15 July but organisers said in a statement today "It is with great regret that we confirm the cancellation of the Fflam Festival for 2007. After the initial postponement... we have made every possible effort to try and secure a new date for the festival this summer. Unfortunately, we cannot find a date that suits all parties".
