Organisers attributed the disruptions on the second day of the festival to unforeseen technical issues, exacerbated by adverse weather conditions, which affected the sound system.
Despite efforts to resolve the issues, the delays resulted in Miss Lauryn Hill's performance starting later than scheduled.
Additionally, the technical difficulties led to the cancellation of the much-anticipated performance by Nyashinski, one of the festival’s brand partners.
In a statement, the organisers acknowledged the impact of these disruptions, saying, "We sincerely apologise to all our valued festivalgoers, suppliers, artistes, and stakeholders for the disruptions experienced during day two of the WalkerTown festival."
