Pop singer Halsey’s concert in Maryland was canceled Wednesday night as severe storms rolled through the area, flooded the venue and soaked fans waiting in the stands.
The star’s concert was initially delayed at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, an outdoor venue with partially covered seating, due to the weather, slated to resume at 9:30 p.m.
By 10 p.m., the venue tweeted the Halsey show was canceled “due to weather-related technical difficulties.”
Columbia was under tornado and flash flood warnings Wednesday evening as thunderstorms rumbled through the region, and swathes of fans already at the venue were left drenched.
Some fans were seen in rain ponchos hiding out in a bathroom during tornado warnings, others soaked by rain pouring through the ceiling near the stage, and those sitting in the seats inundated by water gushing over the stairs and ground.
