Hailstorm Interrupts Bad Bunny Concert in Milan – Several Attendees Injured

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is 32 years old and known for his mix of reggaeton, Latin trap, and pop. On Saturday evening, he was performing on stage at the Ippodromo SNAI San Siro, the Ippodromo di Milano, in the major northern Italian city, when the storm swept over the city.

Eyewitnesses Report Panic

According to agency reports, the storm was accompanied by heavy hail and lightning. Italian media spoke of „fulmini“ – lightning strikes in the surrounding area. Within just a few minutes, the situation at the event grounds escalated, eyewitnesses recounted.

The organizers responded quickly according to the agency reports: the concert „è stato interrotto“, meaning it was interrupted, and the audience was evacuated. „Il pubblico evacuato“ – this wording was found in several reports. The evacuation took place on Saturday evening, it was further stated.

Venue in Western Milan

As Italian media reported, thousands of attendees fled the grounds in panic. Reports indicated that many sought shelter under canopies, in adjacent buildings, and in nearby subway stations. Rescue forces and medical services were quickly on site and tended to the injured, according to the reports.

Whether and when the concert would be rescheduled was initially unclear. It was initially not known whether the event would be postponed to a later date, according to the reports. The organizers themselves did not issue a detailed statement late Saturday evening.

The Ippodromo SNAI San Siro is located in western Milan, not far from the horse racing track of the same name and the Giuseppe Meazza football stadium. The open-air location is one of the city's largest event spaces and regularly accommodates several tens of thousands of visitors for concerts. Several international artists had already performed there in the summer of 2026.

In the hours following the disruption, attendees shared videos on social networks showing heavy hail, drenched crowds, and the orderly evacuation. Many users praised the rapid response of the security personnel, while others criticized the fact that the concert had not been interrupted earlier given the clearly apparent weather conditions.

Reschedule Date Still Unclear

Milan experienced further storms overnight into Sunday. Weather services had previously forecast partly severe thunderstorms with hail and gusty winds for the region. The responsible authorities urged residents to keep windows and doors closed and to avoid traveling to affected areas.

The organizers announced late in the evening that they would provide information on possible reschedule dates and further procedures on Sunday. There were also no conclusive figures on the exact number of injured and the extent of property damage at the event grounds.
