Halsey cancels Maryland show due to flooding, calls out venue
Halsey cancelled their headlining show in Maryland, where they were scheduled to perform last night (June 8), due to the venue becoming heavily flooded.
Storms had begun to affect the area that evening, CBS reported, with the Howard County and Baltimore areas briefly placed under a tornado warning.
Fans had already filled the Merriweather Post Pavilion when the 19,000-capacity venue started flooding, as it had stressed hours earlier that “the show is still happening rain or shine”.
The venue later announced on Twitter that Halsey’s show had been delayed.
At 9pm, it posted instructing concertgoers to re-enter the venue, as it would commence 30 minutes later.
At 10pm, however, it confirmed that the show had been cancelled altogether “due to weather-related technical difficulties”.
