It's part of the storyline for this branch of the plot. You are meant to hoof it to Nomad's Hut in time for the Blowout. If you don't, or if you're exploring another plot-fork (with  Monolith already hostile and the hut unmarked on the minimap) you would end up having to run from the Scorcher compound all round to deal with the controller. Far easier not to piss Monolith off in the first place and lock yourself into the hut anyway, so that you wake up and play "meet and greet" with the weapon of your choice and don't have to hunt down the controller.
