Beyonce and Jay-Z’s New Jersey Concert Delayed Due to Bad Weather
The concert started at 11:08 p.m. and Beyonce thanked the crowd for staying around.
Severe weather forced fans at Beyonce and Jay-Z’s concert out of their seats to wait inside MetLife Stadium because of bad weather in the area.
Officials said Thursday night in East Rutherford, New Jersey — where the New York Giants and New York Jets play — that concertgoers must head inside while it rained before the performers took the stage. Officials said a thunderstorm was on its way.

DJ Khaled performed Thursday, bringing Fabolous, Jim Jones, Bazzi and Freeway onstage. The duo Chloe x Halle, who are signed to Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment, also performed.
The concert started at 11:08 p.m. and Beyonce thanked the crowd for staying around. Beyonce and Jay-Z also have a show planned Friday at MetLife.
Buzzfeed reporter Amber Jamieson live tweeted from Thursday night’s show. See below.
I’m at the Beyoncé and Jay Z show at MetLife waiting for them to appear onstage and a fire chief just told us a thunderstorm is coming and the entire crowd has to evacuate to cover right now.

So we’ve all been sent to the inside of the stadium for this storm, apparently coming in 15 (rain started as we got undercover). Super unclear if Bey and Jay will come on or cancel this whole gig.
