LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louder Than Life is delayed on Friday due to weather concerns.
The four-day festival is delaying opening its doors to "ensure everyone's safety," officials said in a social media post.
The first acts scheduled to perform Friday are "Silly Goose" at 11:30 a.m., "Like a Storm" at noon, and "Jager Henry" at 12:05 p.m. It's unclear whether or not these times will be changed due to weather delays. Full lineup schedule here.
While festivalgoers were prepared for several rainy days during the festival, remnants from Tropical Storm Helene are currently descending upon the Louisville area.
Helene made landfall late Thursday night as a major Category 4 hurricane in Florida. By Friday morning, Helene was downgraded to a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph over Georgia.
Many surrounding states, including South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana, are feeling the impacts of the storm.
It is unclear when the second day of Louder Than Life will begin. Festival runners say they will be "keeping a close eye on the situation" and will provide updates as soon as possible.
"Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to create an unforgettable experience for everyone. Stay tuned for more," Louder Than Life officials said.
The headliners for Friday night is Slayer. Louder Than Life is one of the first shows they're performing together after splitting up five years ago.
