With a week to go Hyde Park, the London venue for Madonna's 'MDNA Tour' stop on July 17th has today been declared unsafe for the 'Hit Factory' concert which was due to take place tomorrow evening, July 11th.
BBC News reports that organiser Pete Waterman said the gig at London's Hyde Park had been called off due to the recent bad weather. He said the grounds had now become "unsafe" following the rain at the Wireless Festival over the weekend.
"What can I say? We've had exceptional weather. If it's not safe, it's not safe and you can't control that."
Fans shouldn't panic yet though as Madonna's concert on July 17th is still scheduled to take place as planned. However, with further inclement weather forecast that is subject to change.
John Probyn, Live Nation COO said, “The moment the Wireless Festival ended, we put in place a massive plan to prepare the site for tomorrow. Eight thousand cubic metres of wood chip is currently being put in place and over the past 24hours crews have started to make the site safe for our customers. Despite best efforts time has beaten us, but I want to reassure that Hard Rock Calling concerts with Soundgarden, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon, plus Madonna on 17 July and the BT London Live Opening
Ceremony Celebration concert and the events will go ahead.”
