💨 Abstract

Lurayn Hill's performance at New Orleans' Essence Festival was plagued by extensive delays. Her set at the 83,000-seat Superdome, scheduled for midnight, didn't start until 2:30 AM, with the crowd significantly diminished. The festival's entire lineup was behind schedule, with several acts pushed back, including Maxwell, who began over an hour late. Lauryn fans criticized her repeated tardiness.
