Yannick Le Gall, a journalist from France 3, the regional television state channel, who was positioned opposite the steps, said: “We were in front of Lady Gaga’s set, and by the time the music started, the staircase was empty.”

When the singer instead appeared on a giant screen in front of the stands, “spectators booed and regretted having paid €180 to see nothing,” Mr Gall added.

Wow, I would not want to plan such an event without a roof. They're going to start planing months beforehand, there's just no way to know how the weather is going to be on a specific date. And especially with how rainy this year has been, this really shouldn't have come as a surprise either...
