Beyonce fans in North Carolina were not happy campers during the Tuesday, May 3 show, as the singer arrived in town with her “Formation World Tour” and all fans got in formation, only to be evacuated from the venue midway into the show due to a round of storms which included rain and heavy lightening which disrupted the show. Via Billboard:
Beyonce’s Formation tour date in Raleigh, North Carolina has been evacuated due to lightning.
The open-air concert at Carter-Finley Stadium was postponed due to inclement weather, though the tour’s producers Live Nation is confident the show will go on. The concerts giant tweeted that staff and crew “are going to try to get Bey back on stage by 11:20pm.”
It’s about to get wet in Raleigh! The show will continue unless severe weather pops up. #FormationWorldTour
