- Bad Bunny's sold-out open-air concert at Milan's Snai La Maura Hippodrome on 18 July was abandoned after a violent hailstorm struck the venue while the Puerto Rican star was performing
- Live Nation posted on its website on Sunday that the show was "interrupted and the area was safely evacuated" due to adverse weather including thunderstorms and hail
- Social media videos showed large hailstones hitting concertgoers along with strong winds and driving rain as the set was underway
- Live Nation confirmed all ticketholders would receive full refunds following the cancellation
- The Snai La Maura Hippodrome is an outdoor venue, leaving the sold-out crowd fully exposed when the storm hit
Why it matters: A major international tour stop was cut short by weather, leaving thousands of paying fans out of a show — but Live Nation's same-day refund pledge limits the financial fallout for ticket buyers and preserves goodwill ahead of any rescheduled date.
