Lil Yachty’s SXSW Performance Cancelled Due to Weather: Fans Disappointed and Wondering if He Will Make It Up to Them

Lil Yachty was set to take the stage at SXSW on March 17, but his performance was cancelled due to rain and lightning in Austin, disappointing many fans who had come out to see him. The cancellation wasn’t limited to just Lil Yachty’s performance; all other outdoor venue performances were evacuated from the Moody Amphitheater for safety reasons.

The venue tweeted a message to attendees, stating, “Due to current conditions, the venue is being evacuated and all event programming has been cancelled. Our primary concern is the safety of our patrons and staff.”

An attendee captured the moment of the evacuation on video, which shows the crowd audibly booing after the announcement. While the music will continue safely indoors with other acts, concertgoers are left wondering if Lil Yachty will make it up to them on another night of the festival.

Some fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with one person asking if they would be refunded since they only came to see Lil Yachty. Another pointed out that Lil Yachty had apparently posted to his Twitter and Instagram story that the show would go on before eventually deleting it.

Considering the weather conditions causing power outages in some parts of the city and state, it’s unlikely that Lil Yachty will be able to reschedule his performance. Nonetheless, fans are hopeful that they will have another opportunity to see him perform soon.
