Less than an hour later another Tweet went out announcing that the total cancellation of the performance, as Steve Angelos flight was delayed by several hours.
⚠️ ILESONIQ FAM! 🎉 The Chainsmokers 🎉 joueront PLUS LONGTEMPS et Domeno se joint au lineup ce soir parce que, malheureusement, l’avion de Steve Angello ne peut pas décoller d'Atlantic City. Nous avons tout essayé mais la température là-bas ne lui permet pas d’être ici 😔 pic.twitter.com/lgnCiH17hH
Fans were understandably very disappointed that the headliner act that many people paid for did not show up especially that this was so last minute.
What would you have done with an hour notice if you were us?
It even says it on their official website "The programming is subject to change, without any notice. Therefore, no exchange or refund will be granted."
Earlier in the day, another performance by Paul Oakenfold was also canceled due to illness.

IleSoniq reminds it's fans that this is the nature of organizing music festivals and that sometimes extenuating circumstances outside of the festival's control will cause performances to be canceled, delayed, or modified.
