It took place at the Big Church Festival at Wiston Park near Steyning, where day visitors have been told to leave the site.
Organisers told attendees Friday's show had been cancelled in a post on Instagram shortly after 5.30pm. It's unclear whether tomorrow's performances will go ahead.
Sussex Police said emergency services were called to the scene following reports a sign had fallen and injured a number of people at the site
"Police were called at around 3.38pm and remain at the scene, assisting other emergency services, at this time," a force spokesperson said.
South East Coast Ambulance Service said: "Ambulance crews, critical care paramedics and specialist response teams are currently on scene with six patients confirmed so far.
"We have no further information to share at this time but will provide updates as soon as possible."
The event began on Friday and had been set to run until Sunday.
In a later statement, the organisers added that their "thoughts and prayers are with those who have been directly impacted by the incident".
"We understand this will be deeply disappointing for the thousands who have joined us at the festival," a Big Church Festival spokesperson said.
"We are working closely with the emergency services and relevant authorities. Further announcements will be made as more information becomes available.
"We are grateful for the understanding, patience, and prayers of our community at this time."
