METAIRIE, La. — Vans Warped Tour has canceled its scheduled its one-day show that was supposed to happen at the Shrine on Airline June 28.
Tour organizer Kevin Lyman announced the cancellation in a video on the Warped Tour Facebook page.
We’ve tried everything possible, but we live in crazy times and crazy things are going on,” he said.
He did not give specifics on why the concert won’t take place, but he did say it was due to “circumstances beyond our control.”
Hard rock and metal bands on the Warped Tour bill include Goldfinger, Hatebreed, GWAR, and dozens more. More than 50 acts were slated to perform.
This is the second music tour that has canceled its scheduled appearance at the Shrine on Airline, the home of the New Orleans Babycakes baseball team.
The Outlaw Music Festival featuring Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow and other performers also announced recently that it will not be stopping in the New Orleans area.
