Images from the major music festival show crowds using umbrellas and raincoats as they hide from the rain.
Big screens on the main stages displayed a warning message saying “due to adverse weather conditions, performances on this stage have been temporarily suspended.”
“Please remain calm and follow the instructions of the festival’s security and staff teams,” it added.
Lack of information has sparked complaints from those on the ground with festivalgoers taking aim at management for limited communication.

US singer Doja Cat took to social media to apologise to her fans for the cancelling of her set.
In a tweet, she said: "Barcelona i am fully dressed and ready to go to stage but it’s just not safe enough to continue the show tonight.
"I’m so sorry that this is how this s*** has to be right now. I will think of everything I can under the sun to make it up to you. Please stay safe and warm I will see you again I promise."
She later added: "Unfortunately it is cancelled due to weather. I mean what I said in the post prior. Giant hugs tears and kisses to you all tonight."
Primavera Sound is due to continue today (June 5th).
