Lil Wayne has called off his set at New York City's Panorama Festival. The rapper was scheduled to perform Saturday evening (July 28), but instead of taking the stage he announced he wouldn't be making it to the show on social media.

"New York! Panorama! Due to mother nature I was delayed & wont make it," he wrote on Twitter. "Kant wait to kome bak and rokk with my NY fans asap."

Panorama also spread the word about the cancelation, tweeting, "Due to weather conditions, Lil Wayne's flight has been delayed and he is unable to perform tonight. He was looking forward to performing for his NYC fans and plans to come back as soon as possible."

On Friday, day one of the festival at Randall's Island Park, severe weather led to an evacuation. The Weeknd, Migos and Dua Lipa were among the artists set to play that night.

St. Vincent, Gucci Mane, SZA, Janet Jackson and more remain on the Panorama lineup Saturday night.
