Bad weather: Bad Bunny's Milan concert suspended and evacuated, some fans injured by hail

18-07-2026

The violent storm that hit Milan on the evening of Saturday, July 18th forced organizers to halt Bad Bunny's concert at the Ippodromo La Maura and order the evacuation of the crowd for safety reasons. The rain, accompanied by heavy hail, strong gusts of wind and intense lightning activity, made it impossible to continue the show, which was being watched by more than 80,000 people.

Shortly after 9pm, organizers had put out a first message asking the audience to wait about ten minutes in the hope that the bad weather would ease off. As conditions worsened, however, the subsequent order to evacuate the area followed.
Bad Bunny was performing on the second of his two Milan dates on the "Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour", following the previous night's sold-out show, also held at the Ippodromo La Maura.
Numerous videos quickly appeared on social media documenting the moment the show was interrupted and the crowd filing out in the rain.

The violent wave of bad weather, accompanied by equally violent hail, which struck the city of Milan shortly after 9pm, also hit the concert by Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny, who was performing at the San Siro racecourse - reads a statement from the Fire Department - Firefighters evacuated the thousands of people who had come for the concert. Several spectators were injured, struck mainly on the head due to the size of the hailstones, and were assisted by 118 emergency medical personnel. The concert was suspended. The arena remained under the watch of organizers and law enforcement.

The interruption of the show sparked a wave of protests on social media, where many attendees voiced their disappointment and demanded clarity over the concert's fate. "He only sang six songs, they're screaming at us, treating us badly to get us to evacuate. It's a disgrace, everything's covered in mud. He even came out late, he didn't even get halfway through the concert. Nobody knows if it'll be rescheduled, if we'll get a refund. The only thing we know is that it's been cancelled," one fan wrote.
Another attendee, meanwhile, is hoping the show will be made up: "We're expecting the concert to be postponed to tomorrow, but nothing's confirmed. So many people came from far away just for this date."
