Siouxsie Sioux‘s headline set last night (May 20) due to severe weather.The event at Brookside at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, which was set to be her first performance in the US for 15 years, was cut short during Iggy Pop and The Human League‘s set.According to the Orange County Register newspaper, Pop was performing ‘The Passenger’ when his microphone was cut and an announcement over the PA alerted attendees to leave. “OK, we have lightning, we need to evacuate the stage I’m told,” Iggy told the crowd.Human League frontman Phil Oakey also cut the band’s set short and apologised before urging fans to “vacate”.Festival goers were also instructed at the direction of the Pasadena Fire Department and the event’s organisers to exit the site and move to protected areas.Due to severe weather, please exit the event site and move to your vehicles or protected areas outside of the event site for safety.

No Siouxsie for me, but better that she didn’t get fried I suppose.
