Megan Thee Stallion’s Friday and Saturday concerts were canceled due to ongoing water woes in Atlanta but she was finally able to take the stage on Sunday.

The performer posted a clip of her pre-show prep:

State Farm Arena has added hand sanitizing stations around the venue due to ongoing boil water advisories in place as repairs continue.

She was scheduled to take the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday night at 8 p.m. but an announcement from State Farm Arena around 6:30 p.m. said in a social media post, “After speaking with the Mayor’s office regarding the continued water leak issues affecting downtown Atlanta, the City of Atlanta is unable to accommodate the Megan Thee Stallion performance scheduled for tonight.”

Friday’s show was also postponed due to water problems, which began in the afternoon leading to much of the city being without water or experiencing low water pressure.

“That’s really crazy that a major city in the U.S. is going this long without no (expletive) water,” Megan said during an Instagram live post.

The first show of the Houston rapper’s two-night stop in the city was postponed to Sunday. The Saturday show has been rescheduled for Monday.

Lingering water service repairs also caused other entertainment cancellations on Saturday.

The Magnetic Fields show at the Variety Playhouse was postponed until Monday, the venue said.

“We know this is an inconvenience for everyone and appreciate your patience while we navigate the ongoing outage,” Variety Playhouse posted on Facebook.

Dad’s Garage Theatre Company and Theatrical Outfit also announced both would be closed due to the water issues.

“The bummer continues — no shows 6/1! A watershed decision, truly,” Dad’s Garage posted on Facebook.

Earlier Saturday, the Fox Theatre announced the P1Harmony concert scheduled for tonight was cancelled.

Those with tickets to events were asked to contact the venues for additional information.
