One of the reasons the concert was heralded as special is that it was to take place “in the heart of the Black Country” where BCC members Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham grew up.

What’s more, Planet Rock was the conduit for an exclusive 48-hour presale beginning Sept. 19, two days before general onsales were to kick off Sept. 21.

But life is full of surprises and Black Country Communion’s Jan. 5 gig has been canceled due to that old concert industry rascal known as “unforeseen circumstances.”

Word from Planet Rock is that ticket purchases will be refunded. Folks with questions regarding reimbursements for the canceled show are invited to email customerservice@eventim.co.uk.
