Overview
- Citi Field canceled Kahan’s July 18 concert on Saturday after hours of weather monitoring and an earlier plan to proceed with a revised schedule was abandoned when conditions worsened.
- The venue told ticket holders to seek refunds from their point of purchase and said Ticketmaster buyers will be automatically refunded.
- Thousands of fans who waited in the rain expressed anger on social media at the late notice and some accused organizers of mismanagement.
- Kahan performed the scheduled July 19 show, apologized onstage for the canceled night, said his team had “exhausted every option,” and no makeup date for July 18 has been announced as of July 21.
- The same storms forced other outdoor events to cancel or postpone — Zeds Dead at Forest Hills was moved to Aug. 14 — highlighting how heavy rain, estimated 1–1.5 inches, and wind gusts up to 60–70 mph can shut down stadium shows and disrupt tours.
