The threat of severe thunderstorms caused Governors Ball to ask fans not to come to Randall’s Island Park until they posted an update.

The delay upset quite a few fans, who are already asking for a refund and stating the weather is not supposed to get bad until later in the evening.

Y’all know the worst storms are at 8 right? No chance today happens

Now we all have to miss acts and choose between one or the other. No charlic xcx and the strokes and sza go on at the same time?? This is bullshit.

I hope your dad gets indigestion. It’s so sunny outside there is no need to cancel day acts and schedule other artists for the times when it’s ‘raining’

What happens if this projected T-Storm at 7-8ish goes down? You gonna cancel at the last minute or go on? Doesn’t seem safe to have all these people taking ferries/crowding onto an island right before. Can we get some clarity on this instead of blasting out the updated schedule?

We traveled across the country, paid for a hotel, VIP tickets for a day pass today, literally to see CHARLI and she’s not on? Like, Ashton Kutcher’s gonna jump out we’re getting punked, right?

Not letting people in until 6:30 makes NO SENSE. It’s not supposed to storm until 8. pic.twitter.com/MYk37uTu6f
