Rain at Lollapalooza 2022 for The Wombats Show – 03/25/2022 – Photographer

The Wombats show at Lollapalooza 2022 was temporarily halted minutes after the start due to rain and, according to festival organizers, could cause fatal accidents.

The audience, watching the performance of the British band, on the stage of Onix, who was able to enjoy only three songs, booed the instructions of the brigadier general and security guards, passed on by the event spokesperson, who spoke into the microphone.

The speaker asked all people watching the show to leave the area near the stage immediately. “Urgently move away from the metal structures of the stage,” he said. “There is a danger of lightning approaching.”

I directed the same directions to the audience who were waiting for singer Pablo Vitar on the adidas platform.

And the festival organization repeated several times, in a tone of exasperation, that it was necessary for everyone to move away from the Adidas and Onix stages and stay in the surrounding grassy area. In 2019, torrential rains also caused a temporary interruption of performances Saturday at the event.
