Day 2 (Sunday, May 5)

Even though the Carolina Rebellion was advertised as a "Rain or shine" event the concert promoters did not properly prepare for rain. All of the stages were open on the sides and back. Many bands were not able to perform because of equipment failure and fear for there safety because of the rain. Thousands of people were angered and vowed to never attend a Carolina Rebellion again. Over the next few weeks there were thousands of angry people posting on Carolina Rebellions Facebook page, and eventually the concert promoters offered a free ticket to day 2 of the concert next year or 20% of there money back. Also the lineup was changed.
