Iconic British indie band are forced to postpone their show after missing their flight due to airport chaos caused by Crowdstrike IT outage


An Iconic British indie band was forced to reschedule their Friday festival appearance after missing their flight due to Crowdstrike IT outage.

Bombay Cycle Club were due to perform at Austria's Poolbar Festival, but the worldwide outage caused by a Crowdstrike error meant that their flight was cancelled. But the company has issued a grovelling apology after a faulty update pushed out to Windows customers took their systems down in a 'digital pandemic' - crippling airlines, airports, broadcasters, the NHS, train services and investment platforms. The grievous error wiped £9billion from CrowdStrike's value and $320million (£247m) from Mr Kurtz's personal wealth; he owns a five per cent stake in the firm and the dip represents a loss of a tenth of his $3.4billion net worth.
