Electric Daisy Fest back on after wind Issues

LAS VEGAS, June 10 (UPI) -- Organizers of the Electric Daisy Carnival outdoor music festival in Las Vegas said the show would wrap up Sunday night after being delayed by bad weather.
The music was shut down overnight Saturday when the wind picked up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and raised fears that the stage and rigging could become unstable.
The festival said in a written statement the show's final day would resume Sunday evening. "Our top priority has always been fan safety and we expect that Mother Nature will be more cooperative tomorrow as we prepare for an amazing day three," said Pasquale Rotella, CEO of Insomniac, the organizers of the electronic music festival that runs during the overnight hours
The Las Vegas Sun said winds began gaining strength around 8 p.m. MDT Saturday night and reached about 30 miles per hour, prompting the evacuation of some 115,000 music fans from the seats.
