Storm-Affected Concerts
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This past weekend’s tornado and storms had no mercy on MercyMe fans either. The Christian music group, along with Newsong, Skillet, BarlowGirl, Mandisa, Group 1 Crew and PureNRG - along with guest speaker Tony Nolan and the Real Encounters Extreme BMX Skate Team - were all booked to perform at Winter Jam 2008 this past Friday at Philips Arena. That, of course, was the same night the historic tornado hit downtown. And with the tour ending the next evening in Nashville, arena officials are now saying they can not reschedule it. But it will return next year. (For more information you can go to the Philips Arena site HERE WRFG-89.3 FM also postponed its Tower of Power Celebration and the following Global Drumbeat Anniversary party, planned for Saturday at Cenci restaurant. It reportedly will be held in April. For more information, you can go to the WRFG site HERE Particularly observant readers/viewers may have noticed the extensive damage right next to the Tabernacle. The next show on its schedule isn’t until the 29th, and no change with that Paramore show has been announced, as of this posting. Were you looking forward to the Winter Jam? Are there any other metro area concerts you know of that were postponed or cancelled due to the weather?
