(Yahoo Canada)Potential thunderstorm temporarily cuts shows shortWhile many Montrealers may welcome a potential thunderstorm to cut through the humidity, many Osheaga attendees were disappointed the potential dangers of weather cut some shows short. Artists like Aussie band Amyl and The Sniffers had to get off stage amid the warning, coming back shortly later and saying, “Just a reminder, things don’t always go as planned.”English singer-songwriter RAYE was about 15 minutes late to her set, and mid-way through her first song on one of the festival’s main stage, she was told she had to cut her show short. The 26-year-old songstress was, like her numerous fans, disappointed she couldn’t continue, asking the on-stage official if she could still potentially continue her set.Clay and Friends jam out in their hometownMontreal band Clay and Friends jam out on Osheaga 2024 Day 3.

Taking the stage at 3:20 p.m. for a 45-minute set, dozens of fans were excited to see a local act take such a big stage.That was apparent on the group’s song, “Que Onda,” where audience members — despite an intense sun raining down on the festival site — scooted to the left and then to the right as frontman Mike Clay directed the crowd. He even pulled out a trumpet mid-show, showcasing an extra layer of his formidable talent during the afternoon show.Throughout their show, the group — which has no record label contract and has been running independent since 2017 — filled the space with songs like “Ahorita” and “Going Up The Coast.” It was a strong start to a day that has back-to-back scheduled sets from huge names in the music industry.More to come.
