The storm eventually passed, however, and Day Two was completed with a headline set from The Isley Brothers. The line up was altered, however, with Kurt Vile's slot being chopped.
Gates will open in 5 minutes. You can enter at the main gate on Ashland, Ogden/Washington, or at Ashland/Washington. Music will resume as soon as possible with Stereolab and Freddie Gibbs and then will continue as previously scheduled.
