AceShowbiz - Pharrell Williams had to scrap the first day of his inaugural "Something in the Water" music festival on Friday, April 26, due to heavy rain and winds.
Virginia Beach was lashed by a storm forcing Pharrel and his partners to cancel the festivities and hope for better weather over the weekend.
"Due to the impact caused by today's severe weather at the beach venue, we are sorry to announce that we are unable to put on a show tonight," festival bosses wrote on Twitter. "Stay safe and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! A portion of your ticket purchase will be refunded due to today's weather-related cancellation."
Williams added: "The weather wasn't great today but it's clearing up and we're excited to see you first thing in the morning."
"Thank you for hanging in there... we will not disappoint. Thanks everyone who showed up today, every artist, every company and everyone involved."
Day one of the three-day festival was set to feature Maggie Rogers, Lil Uzi Vert, Janelle Monae, Migos, Dave Matthews Band, Diplo, and Williams.
Saturday and Sunday's sets, which include another appearance by Williams, Travis Scott (II), SZA, Chris Brown and Pusha T, will proceed as planned, according to festival bosses.
