Due to strong winds at Stagecoach, the festival promoter Goldenvoice has decided to postpone the festival until further notice, and attendees are currently being evacuated. An "Emergency Evacuation" message appeared on screens at the festival's Mane Stage instructing attendees to move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit.

Following the announcement, thousands of festival-goers exited the event. Despite the evacuation instructions on the screens, some emergency exits were closed by security staff between the main stage and the main entrance. The Stagecoach app also sent alerts to attendees to evacuate. Stay tuned for further updates on the situation.
