West Metro Fire Rescue said seven people were transported to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries after hail fell on Red Rocks Amphitheater Wednesday night.

Concertgoers attending a Louis Tomlinson concert Wednesday night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre were hoping to see live music. Instead, they were hit by severe weather, golf ball-sized hail and a canceled show.

Severe storms moved through the Denver area Wednesday night, with the National Weather Service office in Boulder warning of "golf ball-sized hail or larger" near Red Rocks. People were urged to take cover from the storm. Red Rocks initially told fans the concert was under a weather delay, then officially postponed the show.

Videos from the world famous concert venue shows heavy rain and hail covering the amphitheater, which hit cars and injured some concertgoers. The West Metro Fire Rescue in Lakewood, Colorado said seven people were transported to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, and a total of 80 to 90 people were treated at the scene for injuries including cuts and broken bones.
