Buffett’s XPR Augusta Show may be canceled

From The Augusta Chronicle: Ticket sales stopped for new XPR Augusta concert series; Masters Week shows likely canceled

All signs are pointing to a new Masters Week concert series being called off after construction problems were reported at Lake Olmstead Stadium.

The XPR Augusta website said Thursday all ticket sales were suspended and that existing ticket-holders would be notified “of any event changes.”

The series, produced by Los Vegas event producer C4 Live, was to feature Blake Shelton and Nelly, Tim McGraw and Pitbull and Jimmy Buffett in three concerts April 6, 7 and 8. Each included luxury VIP sections and high-end food and beverage service intended to appeal to Masters Tournament visitors.

But two weeks ago, C4 Live said construction of a temporary stage and VIP area had to be halted due to soil instability.

Spokespeople for the company have not returned requests for comment since then.
