Storm Halts Jesús María Festival’s Eighth Night as Soledad’s Set Is Cut Short

A safety order halted the night due to flooding-driven equipment failures.

Overview

  • Organizers announced the cancellation at 1:35 a.m. local time after declaring conditions unsafe to continue the eighth-night program.
  • Soledad Pastorutti performed for about an hour in heavy rain before microphone failures and worsening weather forced her off stage.
  • Videos showed flooded interior corridors at the Anfiteatro José Hernández as more than 12,000 attendees navigated the downpour under staff guidance.
  • El Indio Lucio Rojas and Paquito Ocaño did not perform, and organizers said they will communicate any reprogramming.
  • An added date on Monday, January 19, is planned to offset weather losses, ticket transfers or refunds have been offered for affected dates, and Friday’s bill proceeds with El Chaqueño Palavecino and other acts.
