The Dixie Chicks concert, postponed at Nikon at Jones Beach Theater because of 100-degree heat earlier this month, was officially cancelled yesterday.
The concert’s promoter said that due to scheduling conflicts, no available date could be found for the band to return before the Jones Beach season ended.
Separately, the Reggae Sunsplash 2006 Tour with UB40, Maxi Priest and Third World set for Thursday at North Fork Theatre at Westbury has been cancelled due to “production restrictions.”
The tour opted to cancel the show because one band “can’t perform in the round and felt the stage was too small for their production,” said Dan Kellachan, the theater’s marketing manager. The cancellation is unusual since bands generally get detailed information about the nature and size of the performance space before they sign the contract to perform. Kellachan said the theatre provided this information to the tour and did not hear of any problems until yesterday.
Refunds for both shows are available at the point of purchase.
