  • Bad Bunny's concert in Milan was abruptly canceled due to a severe storm, forcing the evacuation of thousands of fans.
  • The storm brought heavy rain, strong winds, and large hailstones, causing minor injuries to several attendees.
  • Organizers cited safety concerns and the inability to reschedule as reasons for the full cancellation of the event.

A highly anticipated Bad Bunny concert in Milan was dramatically halted and subsequently canceled after a severe storm struck the SNAI La Maura hippodrome. The artist was in the midst of his second of two scheduled performances when the weather took a violent turn.

Social media videos captured the intensity of the storm, showing torrential rain, powerful winds, and large hailstones battering the venue. Thousands of concertgoers were forced to seek shelter as the weather deteriorated rapidly. Milanese firefighters assisted attendees in evacuating the area safely. Reports indicate that several fans sustained minor head injuries from the hailstones.

Initially, organizers requested the audience to remain in place, hoping the storm would pass. However, as conditions worsened, an evacuation was initiated. Live Nation confirmed that the concert had to be suspended and then fully canceled due to the severe thunderstorm and hailstorm, stating that finding an alternative date was not possible.

"The safety of all event participants is always our top priority," Live Nation said in a statement. The canceled show marked the end of the Italian leg of Bad Bunny's "Debรญ Tirar Mรกs Fotos" world tour. His first concert in Milan on July 17 drew an estimated 80,000 spectators.

The safety of all event participants is always our top priority.
