Tonight was the scariest night of my life. It started pelting people with hail at Red Rocks and my sister and I luckily found shelter under a sign. I am bleeding and have huge bumps on my head from the hail. Hoping everyone made it out safely. pic.twitter.com/jong1SBuYd

Many attendees tried to protect their heads with jackets, bags, and other items as people screamed out in pain. Several cars were also damaged by the hail peltings. 

The major storm initially caused the concert by former One Direction band members to be delayed and then organisers ultimately postponed the show to a later date.
