Festival-goers were evacuated due to rain and thunderstorms, just minutes after the Magic singer had taken the stage in Chicago's Grant Park on Sunday 26 May. At around 8pm local time, festival organisers sent out a message via email and social media. "Weather evacuation, please calmly head to the nearest exit," they asked on Instagram. "Unfortunately, event is over due to weather. Gates will not reopen." The abrupt ending to the festival came hours after day two of the event had been delayed due to severe weather alerts.
