VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A brief, but powerful, downpour swept through Volusia County Friday night, disrupting the Rockville Music Festival.
Concertgoers ran for the exits as the sky opened up around 6:00 p.m. Video uploaded to social media showed the crowd screaming as rain fell while the singer Poppy performed.
“I’m really disappointed because I really wanted to see Lorna Shore and Pale Face Swiss,” said Domenica Gladwell, who traveled from Maryland for the four-day rock music festival.
The skies cleared up about an hour later. Rockville organizers announced on X “Gates are now re-opened and Welcome To Rockville is back on.”
Most of the artists slated to perform returned to the stage.
The festival ends on Sunday.,
