When it rains it pours.
Unfortunately for some Halsey fans, the pop singer’s show was canceled due to extreme flooding at the site.
At first, the show scheduled for 7 p.m. was delayed, but it was inevitably canceled despite the sea of concert attendees patiently waiting in the rain in Columbia, Maryland, Wednesday night.
The water came down the bleachers and flooded the ground, as shown on Twitter by Halsey fans who can be heard screaming in the videos.
“There’s no way this Halsey Maryland show is as real as WHAT,” tweeted one person, who posted a clip in the front row of the venue as water poured in and rodents came down from the stage. A video shows a security guard kicking a rat in the flooded area between the stage and people, screaming as the plague swims away and turns the place into a ditch.
A Halsey show turned into a nightmare for fans with terrifying floods, screaming videos and rodents crawling everywhere.
Other clips showed a waterfall flowing down the steps and from the roof, falling on unsuspecting fans in the crowd. However, some people took full advantage of the unfortunate situation online.
“Halsey’s team did their best with the special effects of this tour,” joked another user, pointing to the rain-induced waterfall.
“You’re all attending a Halsey concert or a pool party,” another person said.
Halsey went live on Instagram to explain the situation and address the weather, claiming that he even travels with the help of meteorological experts who advised that there would be only a little rain that “is supposed to happen.” . But some “unpredictable” times “immediately become dangerous.”
Local authorities advised that there should be a shelter and that it should not be evacuated due to the possibility of stampede and the uncertainty of how dangerous the weather could become.
In the clip, which a Halsey fan account recorded and posted on Twitter in two parts, the singer described that she “made the decision” to protect her fans.
“I just want everyone to be safe,” he said, “I literally have a broken heart.”
Maryland, I don’t even know what to say. If you missed my live, I’ll post something soon. But right now I have a broken heart and panic and I just want to know when / if you come home safe. I love you more than anything.

He promised to reschedule the show, then tweeted an apology to his Maryland fans, saying he was “panicking” and “I love you more than anything.”
“I really want to add that I’m more than disappointed with the way the site has been handled all night and my rescheduled date will be moved to another location,” the Hurricane singer tweeted. “I hear you loud and clear, I promise.”
