USF’s spring music festival, Bullstock, was cut short during the headlining set by indie rock band Grouplove on Friday night. Rain fell sporadically during the band’s performance, but the festival was called off when it started raining consistently — an hour before the originally scheduled 11:15 p.m. end time. This was met with the audience booing and students rushing out of the event to escape the rain and cold combo.
