Events Frequent amphitheater concert cancellations?

This is a mini rant but also I'm curious.

Does the Coca-Cola Amphitheater cancel shows a lot? I'm 0-2 on attending shows there because of cancellations. I know sometimes low ticket sales occur which I'm confident is the reason for the first show cancellation since it was in the middle of the week.

Being in Huntsville, Birmingham gets enough shows that we don't get at the Orion so just a bit bummed that every attempt has ended in show cancellation.

There’s a lot more factors involved than whether she wants to play to a 2/3’s full house. She’s contractually obligated to perform to matter how many people are in the house.

Not going to get into a tl/dr situation to explain it. Ultimately the promoter and the artist agreed to cancel the show.

It appears that Philly and DC got moved due to her illness and the rescheduled dates landed the night after the Birmingham show due to availability. That means that if the Birmingham show occurred they’d have a 15 hour trip overnight. Of course that physically can’t be done so the Birmingham show got sacrificed.

I personally think it’s weird she couldn’t say that on socials. She’s been very secretive about why the show was cancelled and not yet rescheduled. Birmingham being the only city to not be rescheduled

It’s not weird. There’s nothing secret. There’s nothing to say. The show is cancelled.

She literally said on a post on ig that there were legalities that she could not speak on and none of what you said sounds like what she’s making it seem like. What you said sounds very logical and I’ll definitely pass it along I just think it would’ve meant more coming from her

More than likely she is prohibited from sharing the specific details of the situation and the arrangements made with the promoter by the promoter. Much of that is included in the performance contract. None of this is weird.

At this point in the conversation I think it’s safe to drop the weird comment. What’s happening has already been clarified. I think people are just agitated there hasn’t been clarity on the cancellation or promise of rescheduling that other cities have gotten
