Tabernacle confirms severe damage to historic venue
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Tabernacle’s promoter has just confirmed what was pretty obvious to anyone who’s seen pictures of the damage this past weekend’s tornado caused downtown.
The 98-year-old venue, according to the Live Nation press release, “sustained significant damage Friday night…Structural engineers and other experts are currently assessing the overall condition of the building. Once these evaluations are completed, Live Nation will announce a timetable for repairs so that the building can re-open and shows can resume.”
Promoter Live Nation is supposed to get back to us on this on Friday.

Meanwhile, are you planning to attend the next show scheduled there - Paramore, March 29? Or the Mars Volta the following Saturday?

I’ve been following this story a little bit today, and the outlook for the upcoming Mars Volta show that I’ve been waiting with tickets for isn’t looking all that great.
It’s such a strange situation and I’m anxious to see what the verdict is this Friday. I’ve heard chatter (mostly wishful thinking) that these concerts could be offset at another venue such as the Roxy — although such a prospect seems a little bit of a stretch.
