Governors Ball Music Festival has canceled the third and final day of its 2016 edition, citing concerns over weather.

"Due to severe weather and a high likelihood of lightning in the area," Sunday's events have been scrapped, the festival said in a statement today, noting "the safety of fans, artists and crew always comes first."

Today's schedule was set to include a headlining show from Kanye West—his first major performance since releasing The Life of Pablo—as well as CHVRCHES, Death Cab for Cutie, Cold War Kids, Vic Mensa, Two Door Cinema Club, Gary Clark Jr., Courtney Barnett and more.

Three-day pass holders and one-day pass holders will receive a prorated refund and a full refund, respectively. Additional information can be found here.

Update: Following the Governors Ball cancelation, Hot 97 seems to have confirmed Kanye West will perform tonight (Sunday) at Summer Jam in East Rutherford, New Jersey, announcing tonight "Pablo is in the building."
