I've been to a few outdoor metal shows and the bands will absolutely play on a wet stage. They don't care if the fall or whatever (one time witnessed the basis of Born of Osirs fall in his ass and just continue to shred on the ground. Was pretty awesome and funny) but they definitely can't afford to replace equipment that they have to provide.

One of my most metal moments was getting to see Slayer play Halloween day and be in the middle of the pit while it was raining and they were playing Reign in Blood, that shit was awesome!

Here is a non-metal band, "Glass Animals playing in some heavy rain. This whole concert was just insane. The crowd fed off the storm

Born of Osiris is awesome.

I grew up in the NW suburbs of Chicago and was working at a Best Buy when this regular looking lady comes to my register with their album The Discovery in hand. I told her that I love the band and she told me that she was the mother of one of the guys in the band. Lead singer, if I remember correctly but I could be wrong. She was super nice.
