Anyone looking for the right moment to pull the plug on the washout first day of Governors Ball (Friday June 7, 2013) could have done worse than the one right after Leslie Feist (above) stopped her set after the first song because, to quote her, "I think they think we're going to get electrocuted."
Instead, though, the festival trudged glumly, stubbornly forward, despite the fact that Randall's Island (New York) was effectively a lake, and there was no way to get from one stage to the next that did not involve wading through ankle-deep water.
A decision to suspend the festival due to "high winds and unsafe stage conditions" came just before headliners Kings of Leon were set to take the stage and long after the ferries – the festival's recommended mode of transportation – had stopped running because of the weather. MORE HERE
