Well this is certainly bizarre.
On Friday, Alan was forced to reschedule his show at The Greek Theatre in Los Angele due to a sinus infection, but performed as scheduled on Saturday night in Salinas, California to a sold-out crowd. Now for some strange reason, the promoter of Jackson's Sunday night concert at the Jukebox Music Festival has canceled Jackson's show reportedly because of Jackson's rescheduled Friday show.
From Jackson's website:
Following early morning e-mails from the promoter of the Jukebox Music Festival, Alan Jackson will not be performing as planned this evening in Anderson, CA. Jackson, his band and crew were on-site this morning, ready to load in and prepare for the show, but he will regretfully not be performing. Citing the postponement of Jackson's Friday show in Los Angeles, the promoter felt that this impacted ticket sales, even though Jackson played a sold-out show in Salinas, CA Saturday night. Jackson is sorry to disappoint his fans who had expected to see him tonight, but the trucks and buses will turn around and head to Los Angeles, where he is playing his rescheduled Greek Amphitheatre concert on Wednesday.
Wow, how crappy for fans that spent their hard-earned money to see Alan Jackson. I would definitely get the number of that show promoter and give him or at least his secretary an earful.
I am sadden that this has happened and also upset at the way things are being handled. I fell the promoter who canceled the show. should not be aloud to keep money that Doesn't belong to him. AJ showed and was willing to play... The promoter shound refund the money that was pay out buy fans for sunday...... Where did all that money go???????????????
Sorry to say (donot have people calling to get me to buy other tickets) not going to happen without getting my refund this time.I do feel we should at least get one third of our ticket rfunded I'm done sorry to all the people these tickets were to help IAm done buying and spending my hard eard money to give to a not so honest thing so sad...

I don't blame Alan Jackson, although I was terribly disappointed when I heard he was canceled. I was even more disappointed when the promoter decided to shutdown the entire 3rd day of the festival!! Of course he is blaming everything on AJ and on crazed fans who claims threatened him, his family, and his pets. He also said he feared putting festival goers in danger in the wake of the recent "Batman" murder spree!! What a crock!! The man is a thief!! Oh yeah - there will be no refunds! Big surprise! I still hope to have a chance to hear Alan Jackson someday! For now I am wishing him continued healing and good health! God Bless!

Joanne, Alan didn't cancel the show, the promoter did. If you want to blame anyone, definitely blame him.

I think the promoter canceled so he could pocket the money he would have to pay Jackson ?? Maybie

How very sad that Alan Jackson decided not to show for the event in our community, The Jukebox Music Festival, Anderson, CA. Yes, our community is probably much smaller than Alan Jackson normally appears at but obviously he doesn't realize that we have the No. 1 country radio station in California - 97.3 KNCQ FM along with No. 1 country fans. It would have been a joy to welcome you to our community but it appears you had other plans.
