Overview
- High winds forced an evacuation Saturday night after screens and the festival app told attendees to leave the grounds.
- After gates reopened, organizers posted a new timetable that delayed Lainey Wilson to 10:30 p.m., canceled Journey and Riley Green, moved Pitbull to midnight, and extended the night to 1 a.m.
- Many who followed evacuation orders reported they could not re-enter, with shuttle riders stuck off-site and some calling for refunds.
- The pause followed a National Weather Service advisory for gusts near 55 mph in the Coachella Valley and up to 65 mph through nearby passes.
- The festival pressed on to its final day Sunday with Post Malone set to close, while most sets remained available on Amazon’s two-channel livestream and on SiriusXM.
