Shadows stated that whenever lightning is detected within five miles of the venue, the show has to be stopped for 30 minutes, and people are ordered to "shelter in place." After the 30 minutes have passed, if there is no more lightning, the venue gives fans an extra 30 minutes to make their way back to the venue so the show can go on. I'm sure we can all agree that if people were being struck by lightning at concerts we would hold the promotor accountable," the singer wrote. It's a huge hassle for them to have a show canceled like this but there are some guidelines that they must follow for people's safety.
