Sombr, and Wolf Alice.<\/p>\n<p>The latter band played last night (August 1), however festival organisers announced on the day that the festival had been pushed back from 12 pm to 3 pm CT, leading to the cancellation of most of the sets that were scheduled within that three-hour window, with a few exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>K-pop group Cortis, who were moved to later on Saturday afternoon, performed for 40 minutes rather than their previously scheduled 50, while Wolf Alice\u2019s initial hour-long set was also cut to 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\"
