'Extraordinary Medical Incident' Sees Llangollen Eisteddfod Cancel Concert

The Llangollen International Eisteddfod cancelled Wednesday evening’s concert in Denbighshire after several attendees fell ill, prompting medical intervention at the festival site.
The cancellation followed a flu-like outbreak that affected a small group of children taken to hospital with mild respiratory symptoms, prompting the Welsh Ambulance Service to declare an extraordinary incident.
Medical teams managed the outbreak, evacuating people and working with ambulance services, while festival organisers praised staff and volunteers for their swift response and emphasized safety.
The festival, which attracts more than 50,000 attendees and features performers competing in upwards of 20 categories, was cancelled for the first time ever following an unexpected medical emergency, according to an official statement announcing that that evening’s program would not proceed.
Following expert medical advice, the festival intends to reopen at 9am Thursday and proceed as normal while apologizing for any inconvenience caused and assuring that none of the children are seriously unwell.
