Rain or Shine: Downtown Live is a rain or shine event. As they say in North Carolina: "If you don’t like the weather, stick around 15 minutes, it’ll change." Us North Carolinians know that throughout the summer stray thunderstorms often pop up out of nowhere. This may cause a slight delay in the schedule, but the show will go on. Day of show stay tuned to 96Rock for weather updates.
