Weather Or Not - Pollstar News

Severe weather disrupted concerts over the weekend causing fans of Journey and the Doobie Brothers to take shelter in Ohio while Slipknot and Marilyn Manson fans were sent home in Pennsylvania.

Concertgoers at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati were asked to take shelter July 29 in the main pavilion or the nearby PNC Pavilion.

The venue tweeted to take action around 9 p.m. during flood advisories, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. High water and downed trees were reported in the area. The concert resumed at 10:05 p.m.

However, things didn’t go as smoothly at First Niagara Pavilion in Burgettstown, Pa., July 30.

Heavy rain and lightning interrupted Marilyn Manson’s set numerous times and finally caused a power outage. After a 90-minute delay, the remainder of the show was canceled, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Corey Taylor of Slipknot tweeted after the cancellation, “To everyone at the PA show tonight: I’m SO SORRY we couldn’t get the power back on. I promise we’re going to do our best to reschedule.”

Information regarding the rescheduling and/or refunds for the show was to be posted on the Facebook pages of the pavilion and Live Nation within 48 hours.
