Danish police evacuated a music festival on Thursday and warned people in the west coast city of Esbjerg to stay indoors amid flooding caused by a cloudburst, APA reports citing Reuters.
"Heavy rain came and we assessed that it was necessary to shut down the concert," a police spokesperson said.
Police had initiated the evacuation of some 20,000 people, he said, adding there were no reports of injuries.
Festival organisers said on Facebook that the rest of Thursday's programme would be cancelled due to safety concerns.
