Yeah, severe thunderstorms forced the organizers to cancel the show.

Leading up to the show, there were some showers and flashes of lightning which caused them to come out late. Then, once they came out and started playing I Alone, the skies opened up. They were able to get through Operation Spirit (which sounded great). Unfortunately, they only got halfway through Pain Lies on the Riverside when one of the staff members came out and tap on everyone's shoulders to tell them to stop. Ed played for a little bit longer before a loud crash sent everyone off the stage. The crowd went home sad and wet.

According the Freaks4Live twitter, they plan on coming back, but no make up date has been announced.
