Overview
- Stagecoach, which ordered an emergency evacuation Saturday night due to strong winds, told tens of thousands to leave as giant screens and app alerts said the festival was postponed.
- Organizers later reopened the gates and pushed sets late, dropping Journey and Riley Green while moving Lainey Wilson’s headlining slot to about 10:30 p.m.
- Many who followed the exit order said they could not re-enter, pointing to one-way shuttle routes and jammed parking that made turning back unrealistic.
- Lainey Wilson still delivered a delayed 19-song, 90-minute headlining set with guest turns from Little Big Town and Riley Green.
- The festival continues Sunday with Post Malone closing, with plans informed by an active wind advisory and ongoing livestreams on Amazon platforms and SiriusXM.
