Overview
- An intense thunderstorm with unusually large hail struck the Ippodromo SNAI La Maura during Bad Bunny’s show, and organizers say the concert was halted and then cancelled after roughly 78,500–80,000 people were evacuated.
- Live Nation confirmed full refunds for ticket holders including pre-sale fees and said medical teams treated only minor injuries classified as codice verde.
- Organizers and city agencies credited coordinated, months-long emergency planning for completing the evacuation in about 50 minutes and restoring area traffic within hours.
- The evacuation caused wider disruption as the Uruguay metro stop closed early, pedestrians were redirected to Lampugnano, and ride-hailing demand and fares surged, leaving many attendees waiting for transport.
- Local politicians and the mayor urged action on La Maura’s future use, with proposals to buy the site, reduce event capacity, or ban 80,000‑person shows as officials weigh venue suitability against rising extreme summer storms.
