In time it wouldn’t surprise me to see something similar to Dead and Company, where CRB members perform with other musicians.

I was reading some speculation that this may still happen on very short notice, but Ticketmaster pulled the event page Friday. Previously it was still up with a message like “we’re working on an on-sale date for this event.”

Ticketmaster still has the show listed, but they’ve now removed the 5/30 onsale date.

Looks like then chicago show around that week then too! It would have to be Toyota Park or a small club. Tinley and Northerly Island are booked on July 8th. Wrigley is open, but there’s no way LiveNation would try to sell a 40,000 seat baseball stadium in an overlapping market two days later. Makin...

I’m confused as to why this was even posted on the Summerfest site when they’re like “well we’ll update on this later.”

Okay, I know Jimmy had a health issue late last year, but his socials constantly post videos of him bicycling, paddle boarding, and surfing. He can’t be in THAT bad of shape.

BOR shared with me earlier that Peter Mayer is touring from early June, straight through July, until August 4th. Unless Jimmy is touring without him that line about “see you in July” might not be accurate. This is the most realistic take I’ve seen on here in a while. Between Mayer’s tour and the sm...

Offspring in Tinley > Buffett at Wrigley not-a-concert-venue Field

I’m good with a shortened tour and shortened set. Really I’d like to see a throwback to when shows started with a few songs solo acoustic or with very limited number of people on stage (see: Live by the Bay). Less time performing for the full band and more low-impact overall.

It would make sense though. The tour announcement is super late this year Northerly still has availability on most Saturdays this summer.

Chicago Northerly Island 1st time ever will be playing this summer! Confirmation through live nation. Date on hold t.b.a. 2013 was the first time. The mud disaster in the lawn still haunts me. I’d go again if I could pavilion seats. Tailgating is at least better than Wrigley but not as good as Tinl...

It’s even more sad that we’re expected to pretend like Wrigley Field is a great place to see a concert.

I emailed the Live Nation season ticket rep for Alpine asking how many shows they are having. I'm not expecting a straight answer if any at all. The last few years Alpine has had no more then 3 shows It is always so frustrating that Live Nation throws all of the WI shows to the Summerfest amphithea...

Wrigley has no concerts announced for July so far.

Pine Knob 7/25 > Riverbend 7/27 > Wrigley/Alpine 7/29 would roughly match up with the order/timeframe of recent tours.

Wrigley has two July Saturdays where the Cubs are gone, 7/8 and 7/29.

There were some noticeable issues at Key West/Vegas but Alpine was only seven months ago and I thought they killed it there.

Alpine just announced Outlaw Music Festival for June 24th. First concert announcement of the year for the venue.

Wrigley is the worst. If that turns out to be the venue I’m going to a show someplace else, where I can actually tailgate and hear the show.

I don’t get the obsession with trying to make that dump a concert venue.

Seems like most of the ire isn't really directed at the postponement per se, but the time it took the actual venue to issue any information when other sources were already confirming it. Truly a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. It was about 20-30 minutes between the Tweet going out ...

Man, the Facebook comments on Alpine’s show cancellation post were extremely non Parrotthead-like.

Alpine 2016 was a Labor Day Weekend show. Weather was really nice, but it a little cooler by the end of the set. Logistically, I don’t think think LiveNation would put a show on sale at a 40,000 seat venue with less than two months to sell tickets. Right now the only show announced for Alpine is RAT...
