DJ Snake was scheduled as the headliner for the evening. After a long day travel he was ready to go, but unable to perform because the shutdown. In an amazing gesture, he showed up to the event anyways to meet with fans and take photos. What a dude!
To make up for the cancellation, anyone with a Friday or Saturday pass was granted into the festival grounds for Sunday. North Coast detailed the situation for its attendees in a statement:
The safety our patrons and staff is our #1 priority. Due to close proximity lightning, event organizers had to evacuate the festival. Due to continued threats lightning in close proximity, event organizers could not reopen within the time the permit.
