Mars Volta Canceled, Paramore Moved
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The latest from the operators of the tornado-damaged Tabernacle is this:
The Paramore (above) show scheduled there this Saturday has been moved to the Masquerade Music Park May 16. Tickets for the Tabernacle show will be honored; and since it’s moving to a larger venue what was once a sold-out concert now has some tickets available.
The April 5 Mars Volta show has been canceled. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.
The Levon Helm Band’s April 9 concert is being moved to the Variety Playhouse, where - unlike the Tabernacle - there is no reserved seating. It’s all general admission.
And Lifehouse (April 12) and Elvis Costello & The Imposters (April 28) have been postponed to a date yet to be determined.
It’s looking like it’ll be early May before the Tabernacle doors will be open again, as the roof is being repaired now, reported Peter Conlon of Live Nation, the venue’s operator. “The damage is superficial though,” he added, “not structural.”
Did you have tickets to any of these shows? Were you hoping to go to Paramore, found out was sold out, and are excited again? Or have these changes made you decide to skip a concert?

Jonas Brothers coming to Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Jonas Brothers’ 2007 self-titled album.
They’re one of the hottest acts in music these days, but you might be forgiven for never having heard of the Jonas Brothers. The little girls understand, though, and they’re the ones who’ll be filling the seats and the lawn at Lakewood Amphitheatre when these teen dreams make their way to Atlanta on Aug. 20.
These guys have toured with Kelly Clarkson, Jesse McCartney and the Backstreet Boys, and they’ve appeared on the Disney Channel hit “Hannah Montana” with tween sensation Miley Cyrus. That should give you an idea about their audience, and their popularity.
Tickets for the August date go on sale Saturday, March 29 at noon — and they’re sure to be a big seller.Lawn tickets are $25; reserved seats are $49.50-$75, available through Live Nation and Ticketmaster charge by phone at 404-249-6400.
