It rained… a lot

Excessive (but to be expected) Florida rain forced bands like Korn, Breaking Benjamin, and Guns N’ Roses to cancel their sets. But Octane still knew how to have a good time.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
NO! It’s @josemangin-in-a-poncho come to fight the Florida rain! 🌧😭 pic.twitter.com/pX2mrMlGw8
