The rise against show was one show that was canceled but it wasn’t because of the mayor of New Orleans.


Why was it shut down? That’s a lot of $ to eat by the promoters and band.

Apparently there was a close contact in another venue so I guess they canceled this show for quarantine and contact tracing reasons.

That’s still the hard part about trying to love live music and sports again. One swinging dick has it and everything goes to shite.

Allegedly, Rise Against demanded the venue require proof of vaccination or a negative covid test. Since there was not enough time to implement that requirement, the venue canceled on them.

Band Management pulled the show when the venue wouldn’t implement a vaccine card/test check at the door. Request made the day before the show which to me is a bs request

The less than 24 hours notice is what gets me. It’s a terrible look.

A week is doable. The day before? That’s really tough to deal with

Yep. I would gladly show my proof of vaccination, but I can understand how a major corporate venue would not be able to agree to that. On a side note Tim posted “Nola we owe you a show thank you for understanding” whatever that means.

The issue is these venues would have to pay for a lot of extra staff and the vaccine stuff was not in the contract

Descendents just put out a statement essentially confirming vaccine/COVID test requirement.

I wonder if the Down show at The Fillmore will happen this weekend.


It better! Doesn’t sound like this shutdown was due to the City or Venue, so that’s good.

I got in touch with Fillmore and they said Down is still on. Now, of course, it's 48 hours away so we'll see what happens.

They just put a video out on their FB page showing them doing sound check to "Eyes of the South". And it sounded great. Looks like the show is on.

Waiting to see if widespread gets cancelled. Not looking good for Nola shows.
