“This decision was taken on health and safety grounds in conjunction with local council inspectors, after a site inspection earlier today.

“Radio 1 remains confident that tomorrow’s live music event, that is due to start at midday, will still go ahead.”

Jason Carter, Executive Of Live Events at the station said: “We’ve had to cancel the first day of our One Big Weekend event, as the site is just too waterlogged. This is a massive disappointment for us, and we would like to apologise to our listeners and to all those people who were due to come to Heaton Park today. We are, however, confident that tomorrow’s event will go ahead as planned.”
