Madrid’s debut turns to disaster on 8 June when “severe” weather forces organisers to cancel the opening day. The rapper’s set list spans 2011’s woozy “ADHD” and 2012’s propulsive “m.A.A.d city”, plus covers of Pusha T’s “Nosetalgia” and The Weeknd’s “Sidewalks”. The following day brings better weather and, in fact, when the storm does return, it adds some drama to Fred Again’s set during which the rainfall peaks amid the driving bassline of “Rumble”. The rapper flits from the 21-year-old Neptunes hit “Grindin’”, taken from his Clipse days, to the Future single “Move That Dope”, and even a verse from Kanye West’s “Runaway”.
