There goes my hero, watch him as he cooks BBQ. The Something In The Water festival’s Friday performances were canceled due to terrible weather hitting the festival site in Virginia Beach. While this was a disaster for fans, Grohl was spotted cooking food in catering, making a lot of BBQ sauce! He also took photos with many fans, saving the day for many disappointed after hoping to see their favorites live.
The opening acts were scheduled to take to the oceanfront stage at 2 p.m. Friday.
“Please clear the beach and take immediate shelter as another severe weather system is approaching,” the festival tweeted shortly after 4:30PM on Friday “We will continue to monitor and update you accordingly.”
“Safety is our #1 priority at SOMETHING IN THE WATER. Doors to the festival venue are still postponed,” the festival tweeted at 3PM. “There is an active weather alert and incoming weather systems. Please calmly disperse from the beach and boardwalk.”
