Storm cancels Caifanes show at SummerStage in New York: Watch the moment here

A Caifanes concert at the Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage in New York City was cut short due to inclement weather on Wednesday night (June 26). The night was a unique opportunity for fans, who were able to see two of Mexico's most iconic rock acts, Café Tacvba and Caifanes, together on the same stage.

The storm started 30 minutes after Caifanes took the stage at 8:15 p.m. (local time), limiting them to just four songs despite the high anticipation of their fans at the sold-out show. The screen behind the stage displayed a weather warning: “Due to inclement weather, guests are requested to safely follow instructions from event staff.”

The unfortunate twist was reminiscent of last year's incident, when Colombian rocker Juanes' performance was disrupted not by the weather, but by an overcrowded crowd.

Caifanes opened his short set with crowd favorite 'La Negra Tomasa' which was followed by 'Para Que No Digas Que No Pienso En Ti'. Ironically, the band finished with “Viento” (meaning “wind”) just as the weather turned wild. In a memorable moment of the evening, just before their show stopped, Emmanuel del Real, known as Meme from Café Tacvba, joined Caifanes on stage. He led “Viento” with his voice and guitar, creating a special moment for fans to enjoy before the event ended early.

Both bands were nearing the end of a 20-date joint tour with upcoming shows scheduled in Toronto, Chicago and Indianapolis. Despite the failure in New York, the tour marks a major milestone, reuniting two titans of Latin rock for fans across North America.

The SummerStage concert with these two giants of the Mexican rock scene remains a testament to their enduring appeal and the multi-generational fan base they continue to inspire, despite the unpredictable challenges nature poses.
