FRIDAY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
A storm was brewing over the Detroit Lakes venue on Friday night, causing, perhaps for the first time, the cancellation of a showpiece act. Friday night’s headliner Miranda Lambert was unable to perform.
In the past, the place has always been able to do a workaround; sometimes with the headliner not hitting the stage until 1am, but this year the weather just wasn’t going to provide that window of opportunity.
According to the article, We-Fest management said Miranda and her crew made sure to arrive early before bad weather, to be prepared for whatever might come; to ensure every opportunity to perform for his fans.
The article read: “Miranda was such a soldier. She sat in her bus until midnight. She was ready to go and got ready. Her group was ready to go. Unfortunately, the authorities spent l called, and we just couldn’t.” -Mark Bjerke, Managing Director of We Fest.
The good news is that everyone was evacuated well before the storms. Bjerke said: “Our evacuation plan worked to a T. Our team regrouped and everyone got out safely and in a timely manner. Everyone got to a safe place even before the weather. does not come near us.”

LUKE BRYAN
Apparently the rest of the weekend went well. Luke Bryan was the headliner on Saturday night, and according to a reportIn the Detroit Lakes area, there have been several incidents as expected when you bring alcohol and people together in a party setting, but it’s all been sorted out, and overall it looks like it’s not. There were only a handful of idiots this year, and most of the crowd was friendly and enjoyed their time at WeFest 2022.
