Overview

• The June 29 storm at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena in Missouri forced a crowd evacuation and left key production gear and artists’ instruments waterlogged and inoperable.
• Organizers canceled the July 1 show at El Reno’s Lucky Star Amphitheater and announced ticket refunds to the original points of purchase.
• The tour is set to restart on July 4 at Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater, marking the festival’s annual Fourth of July Picnic hosted by Willie Nelson.
• At the Missouri stop, Tami Neilson completed her set before damage to the stage’s sound desk and left-side equipment led to the cancellation of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson’s performances.
• The disruption underscores the logistical and safety challenges facing the festival in its milestone 10th anniversary year as climate-driven storms threaten outdoor tours.
