I've been to multiple music festivals with severe weather on one or all of the days (MoPop in Detroit last year stormed with lightning for a good chunk of the day, Pitchfork 2012 also did, and hell, Day 2 of Gov Ball 2016). None of those were canceled (although some individual acts were delayed) Festival goers were allowed the choice of what they wanted to do.
Additionally, while a refund is nice, people who didn't buy direct and people who paid for travel/lodging will not get refunds.
Did you take any of the above into consideration when making the call, or was it mostly about covering yourself in case something bad happened?
