Inclement weather plagued the opening day of the fifth KahBang Music Festival, but while rain prevented Mississippi rock band The Weeks from performing, Canadian indie pop musician Lights and Pennsylvania indie rock band Dr. Dog adapted, altering their plans and closing out the evening in memorable fashion.

As the Main Stage was being set for Lights’ performance, the excess of rain lead to the equipment being packed back up and an announcement that Lights would perform a set of acoustic songs, followed by a performance by Dr. Dog in the Dance Stage, a tented stage that played host to DJ’s and electronic acts throughout the day.

“So we’re just going to do this, acoustic style, and I’m going to play you guys these songs, get really romantic. It’s going to be nice,” Lights, real name Lights Bokan, said before beginning her performance. Lights bantered with the crowd, talking with an audience member about how he works in a record store like she used to and saying how she bought the jacket she was wearing at a Bangor thrift shop earlier in the day.

Songs performed by Lights included “Toes” and the title track from her most recent album, “Siberia.” She also played U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” which she described as one of the first songs that made her fall in love with music.

Near the end of her set, Lights expressed that the weather didn’t spoil her first visit to Maine, saying, “Even though we couldn’t play our whole set and it wasn’t sunny or whatever, this was still a nice first time in Maine.”

When Lights was finished, the crowd migrated to the Dance Stage and filled the tent to see headlining act Dr. Dog. The band’s high energy performance excited the wet but eager audience as they played songs including “Lonesome” and “That Old Black Hole” from their most recent album, 2012’s “Be The Void,” as well as older cuts, like “Shame, Shame.”

Like other acts who performed throughout the day, Dr. Dog thanked the crowd for putting up with the rain and staying to watch them perform.

The Weeks confirmed on Twitter that their performance has been rescheduled for Saturday at 1:30 p.m. on the Main Stage.
