The Bristol Essential Festival has been "forced" to cut back a couple of stages and bands for the Sunday Rock! day, claiming "safety issues" as the reason.
The site is said to be wet after heavy rain over the last week with organisers deciding that "moshing crowds" could make things a little dangerous. This means that two stages and a number of bands have been cut.
Our previews of the stages still apply in the most, the organisers seem to have done little more than shift a load of bands around a little, and cut the Metal Hammer Arena with it's bands. Check below for the full line up for the sunday as it now stands...
The revised line-up for sunday the 5th is now:
13 Artists Arena
