Northeast Snowstorm Not Exactly Concert Friendly
As the U.S. Northeast braces for what could be a snowstorm of historic proportions, some concerts have already been postponed or canceled in anticipation of the predicted “white out.”
As much as three feet of snow is predicted to fall on the Eastern Seaboard from New York to Boston and beyond. As airlines cancel flights and local officials warn residents to stay off the streets, Pollstar is now seeing the first wave of postponements and/or cancellations.

People planning to see shows this weekend in the Northeast should check with the venues before venturing out into winter’s wonderland.
