Coldplay’s gig tonight at Houston’s NRG Stadium has been postponed, though no make-up date has been announced yet.

Lady Antebellum was supposed to play at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands this Sunday, but reps said that in the interest of safety the show is being canceled and refunds will be available at point of purchase.

Mary J. Blige has moved her performance scheduled for tonight in Sugarland, Texas to Sept. 19.

The Houston area still has Lyle Lovett & His Large Band, The Piano Guys, and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion on the books.

A rep from House of Blues told us that the Simple Plan show was still on as of press time, though if weather conditions worsen that can still change.

Hurricane Harvey is likely to bring winds of 74-110 mph into Texas this weekend. The National Hurricane Center said that the effects of the storm can span hundreds of miles from the center, which means Harvey may also be felt in Louisiana and Arkansas.

We advise ticketholders in any of the affected areas to check with the scheduled venue before leaving home.
