But the duo’s Sept. 19 performance at Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park has been canceled. Martin and Short’s tour was scheduled to kick off June 19 in Kentucky; they’ve rescheduled their shows at Wolf Trap in Virginia for 2021 and postponed others, but the Atlanta date is designed at canceled. Ticketholders can request a refund at point of purchase.
