āAlthough we missed out on a portion of the event, the Stadium Stage performances did not disappoint!ā states Charlie Morgan,Senior VP of Emmis NY.Ā
āWeād like to thank MetLife Stadium, the New Jersey State Police, all of the artists and our fans for their patience during the weather delay.Ā The hottest names in Hip-Hop put on remarkable performances, with the biggest surprise guests ever!Ā
It truly showcases how legendary the Summer Jam brand is, and we hope that the event once again provided a memorable night for everyone involved.ā
Due to the weather, the Festival Stage performances were unable to go on.
Morgan adds, āHOT 97 and MetLife Stadiumās top priority is the safety of our concert goers, performers and staff.Ā Because of the severe weather, it was decided to cancel the Festival Village & Stage scheduled for earlier in the day.Ā
The second half of the event, albeit delayed, continued; therefore, refunds will not be issued to valid ticketholders.Ā We share your disappointment that due to the delayed start, as well as a curfew and an end deadline for the last train out of Secaucus, that we were unable to get everyone on stagetonight we had hoped would perform.
Still, Summer Jam produced a night of amazing moments.Ā We appreciate your continued support for Summer Jam and the entire HOT 97 brand!ā
