Another one bites the dust - Laneway Festival in Auckland has been cancelled.
The popular Auckland music festival has had to make the same call as Fatboy Slim and Elton John, cancelling their long weekend live shows.
"Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented weather event in Auckland we have made the heartbreaking decision to cancel Laneway Festival," said the head of publicity for the event, Bex Martelletti.
"We were so excited to deliver this show to our biggest crowd ever in New Zealand, our team has been working around the clock to do everything they can to salvage the site, but the damage and disruption caused by the weather has meant that it is no longer safe to proceed.
"Refunds will be processed automatically by Ticketek and Ticketmaster over the next week – these may take a few days to appear in your account - please have patience with us while we work through this with our wider teams. Our heart goes out to everyone affected by this weather event."
