Listen to the story
The music festival Summer Sonic announced that the live stream of David Byrne's performance has been cancelled.
David Byrne is a well-known musician who was scheduled to perform at the festival.
No details were given about why the stream was cancelled.
The announcement came at the same time as reports of heavy rain in Chiba, near Tokyo.
Chiba experienced strong rainfall this week, and people have been asking whether this would affect local attractions.
Tokyo Disney Resort and Summer Sonic both confirmed that they would continue as scheduled, despite the rain.
This means the festival itself was not cancelled, only the online stream of David Byrne's show.
Fans who wanted to watch the performance from home will not be able to see it.
It is unclear if fans who bought tickets for the live stream will receive a refund.
The rain in Chiba has caused concern among visitors planning trips to theme parks and festivals in the area.
However, both Tokyo Disney Resort and Summer Sonic have stated that operations are continuing normally.
This suggests that, while the weather has been severe, it has not been serious enough to force closures.
More information about the David Byrne live stream cancellation may be released later.
