Cruel World was forced to leave its fans disappointed after it cut its 2023 edition short at Pasadena, California when on Saturday when the festival had to be evacuated due to severe weather. So they are promising to treat their fans with a special show soon.

In the middle of Iggy Pop and Siouxsie Sioux’s set, the background screen went red, with the words, “Severe Weather Alert. Inclement weather approaching. Please move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit and seek shelter outside of the festival.”  Siouxsie was scheduled to close out the night, which was going to be the only North American show on her first tour in 15 years, but she never got to perform the same.

After the announcement, many of the fans were near tears as they expressed their dismay, especially at the cancellation of Siouxsie Sioux’s set. “I’ve seen Siouxsie many times, and she comes out when Morrissey doesn’t even show up,” Steffine Aguirre, one of the many fans who stood in the field and shouted for a refund, said.

Aguirre also said that she was in disbelief that Siouxsie would leave her fans hanging like this. She said that she thought the singer would say something to them even if she did not perform. “We’re not going to leave until they take us off the property,” she said. “They should refund everybody’s money.”
