From a distance, it appears the Founders team has some positively bad luck:
- Saturday's headliner The Weeknd canceled a week before the event due to a Saturday Night Live performance, then came back on, the canceled again the night before.
- A dire weather forecast called for rain all weekend, an ironic situation given the fact that The Meadows was conceived after Kanye West's headlining set at Governors Ball was canceled, along with the rest of that day's performance, due to thunderstorms and torrential rain.
- Headliner Kanye West abruptly ended his set early on Sunday when he received news that his wife, Kim Kardashian, had been robbed in Paris.
For most that attended the event, however, NYC's newest festival entrant was one the most enjoyable NYC concertgoing experiences in years. Solid administration, mind-blowing performances, and a few inspired choices made all the difference.
