Foo Fighters NYC show cut short due to lightning

Inclement weather forced the Foo Fighters to end their show early in Queens on Wednesday night, July 17.

Footage taken by Kat Piorkowski shows the moment the band had to stop the show at Citi Field.

The stadium confirmed the show was over and asked attendees to leave.

In a statement posted to social media, the Foo Fighters said, “We are so disappointed that we were unable to play our full set for tonight’s fantastic crowd at Citi Field. But the safety of our fans, the crew and everyone working in the stadium comes first, so when it was determined that there was no safe way to continue the show in this dangerous weather, we had no choice but to call it a night. We’re grateful for every second we were able to play for you and looking forward to seeing you again – maybe as soon as Friday!”
