The Foo Fighters are currently on their Everything or Nothing at All Tour and have just completed the first two legs of the tour. On July 17, they played a show at Citi Field in Queens, New York City, but unfortunately, they had to end the show earlier than scheduled. Let’s find out why exactly the Foo Fighters had to stop their show early.
Why did Foo Fighters end their Citi concert early?
The Foo Fighters ended their concert early due to a thunderstorm.
During their concert in Queens, New York, a thunderstorm hit the Tri-State area. Due to this unforeseen circumstance, the band had to put an early end to their concert. The venue took to social media to announce that the show had concluded. Their post on Instagram read, “Unfortunately due to the continued presence of lightning in the area, tonight’s show has concluded.”
Explaining the situation, the band put out a statement as well on social media. The post read, “We are so disappointed that we were unable to play our full set for tonight’s fantastic crowd at Citi Field. But the safety of our fans, the crew, and everyone working in the stadium comes first, so when it was determined that there was no safe way to continue the show in this dangerous weather, we had no choice but to call it a night.” Additionally, as of writing, there is no announcement about a refund or rescheduled date for the July 17 show.
Will Foo Fighters be playing at Citi Field again?
Yes, the Foo Fighters will be playing at Citi Field again on July 19.
Though it is not a rescheduled July 17 show, the Foo Fighters will be playing at Citi Field again on July 19. As per their tour dates, they had two planned shows in Citi Field, Queens, on July 17 and 19. After the first show at the venue had to end early due to a safety concern, the Foo Fighters put out a statement. The conclusion of this statement read, “We’re grateful for every second we were able to play for you and looking forward to seeing you again – maybe as soon as Friday!”
