A crowd surge at the Boardmasters music festival in Newquay during DJ Sammy Virji's performance led to the cancellation of his set and some attendees being injured. Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that a 'small number' of people were injured, with some taken to the hospital, though none of the injuries are considered serious. Festival organizers emphasized that safety is their top priority and closed The Point stage to address the incident, while other stages and performances continued unaffected. An attendee described the surge as 'terrifying,' noting a lack of security response before the situation escalated. DJ Sammy Virji expressed disappointment but agreed that safety should always come first.
