The show must go home! What? It’s raining, you guys!
At about 9 p.m. local time Thursday night, Lollapalooza 2017 was suddenly canceled due to inclement weather, with 400,000 festival goers evacuated from Chicago’s Grant Park.

It happened so fast that both Lorde and Muse were in the middle of sets when the decision was made; both artists were reluctantly pulled offstage.
See Lorde’s reaction captured on a fan’s camera (below):

Muse’s Matt Bellamy echoed the sentiment, writing:
Gutted. City/police made us leave the stage tonight 3 songs in at #Lollapalooza . Due to weather/lightning. Nightmare!
— Matt Bellamy (@MattBellamy) August 4, 2017
Crowd awesome, we’ll be back, hope lolla book us next year to make up.

Just hours earlier, former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher also canceled his set after just 20 minutes because of vocal issues. Tough day for Lollapalooza.
Still, it could have been much, MUCH worse as you’ll see (below)…
