During Fiasco's performance at the Main Stage - East, he declared, "Pray for those clouds to open up and rain on us." This happened later on, where there was a tornado warning. This also conflicted with Atmosphere's set, causing audience evacuation and the event ending an hour and a half earlier than intended.DelaCuesta, JP (May 30, 2012).
