Asunciónico Festival Cancels, Possibly Returning to 2023?
On Tuesday, Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay, was hit by severe weather conditions, with extensive floods and heavy rains recorded throughout the region.
Because of the incident and the inclement weather, Miley ultimately canceled her performance at the festival.
The "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker was supposed to headline the Wednesday leg of the festival along with Jane's Addiction and Jhay Cortez.
The day before that, organizers also paused the festival because of the bad weather, a day wherein the Foo Fighters, Doja Cat, and Machine Gun Kelly are supposed to perform.
All of the artists had performed at Lollapalooza Argentina just a few days before, from March 18-20.
On March 26, Cyrus is scheduled to headline Lollapalooza Brazil, and the Foo Fighters take the stage the next day, while Doja Cat and Machine Gun Kelly perform on the 25th.
Asuncionico stated on Wednesday morning that it was postponing the entire event due to safety concerns following the thunderstorms and heavy rain that had occurred earlier in the day.
Organizers have said that the music event will be held again in 2023.
