Hell hath no fury like a festivalgoer scorned. After two great days of music featuring the likes of Beck, Killers and Bob Moses, the organizers of The Governors Ball taking place this weekend on Randall’s Island, NY, were forced to cancel today’s third and final day due to inclement weather. “Sunday, June 5th of Gov Ball 2016 has officially been cancelled, due to severe weather and a high likelihood of lightning in the area. The safety of fans, artists and crew always comes first.” While the festival added “we are as disappointed as you,” ticket holders, many of whom were eagerly awaiting a set by Kanye West, didn’t hold back their disappointment on Twitter. And a few expressed their chagrin in the most hilarious of ways.
According to a post on GovBall’s website, “all customers who purchased a Sunday ticket and Sunday transportation ticket through the Gov Ball ticketing page will receive a refund (including fees and shipping, if applicable) directly to the account used to purchase. All customers who purchased a 3-Day Pass and 3-Day Transportation pass directly through the Gov Ball Ticketing page will receive a partial/pro-rated refund (including fees and shipping, if applicable) directly to the account used to purchase.”
