A rain storm heads toward the festival, causing Sloss goers to be corralled under the infamous, “wait-out-the-rain bridge”.

After three hours of waiting out impending storms and being evacuated from Sloss Furnaces, the festival reopened its doors at 6:35p.m. The first artist to perform post-rain was Moon Taxi.
