Poppy's welcome to rockville set cut short by thunderstorm

Poppy's performance at the Welcome To Rockville festival ended abruptly after just one minute on Friday evening when severe weather protocols were activated. An incoming thunderstorm prompted officials to evacuate fans from the site in Daytona Beach, Florida. The annual rock and metal event continues through Sunday at the Daytona International Speedway.

The interruption occurred less than 60 seconds into Poppy's opening song on the Friday lineup. Screens across the venue displayed weather warnings as the storm moved over Volusia County, sending attendees to campsites, cars or grandstands for safety. The danger passed quickly enough for the rest of the evening's schedule to resume, with Foo Fighters closing the main stage as planned.
