There were thousands of unhappy Stagecoach festivalgoers on Saturday night, as the approximately 75,000-80,000 guests were forced to evacuate due to high winds.

At 7:46 p.m., the Stagecoach app shared an update: “Due to severe weather, please exit the event site and move to your vehicles or protected areas outside of the event site for safety. Stay tuned for updates.”

At the time, Marshmello was 15 minutes into his DJ set at the Honkeytonk tent. The lights were turned on, and an announcement came over the speaker to immediately exit. Meanwhile, the crowd outside the T-Mobile Mane Stage, waiting for Journey to come on, was alerted by massive “EMERGENCY EVACUATION” signs.
