The devastating tragedy which killed 5 people and injured dozens more at the Indiana State Fair before Sugarland’s performance has resulted in cancellation of shows at the same venue by Janet Jackson, Maroon 5 and Lady Antebellum.
Each performer made the cancellation announcement via their websites:
Lady Antebellum wrote: “As a result of the terrible tragedy that occurred at the Indiana State Fair on August 13th, several bands have made the difficult decision to cancel their shows. Lady A’s appearance, which was scheduled for August 19th will no longer be taking place. Ticket refunds will be honored by returning to the original point of purchase.”
Janet‘s site read, “Due to the recent tragedy at the Indiana State Fair, officials have canceled all of the concerts that were scheduled to take place on Wednesday, August 17th, including JANET.”
Maroon 5, who was scheduled to perform with Train, is relocating instead of completely canceling the concert. “All previously purchased Train and Maroon 5 tickets for the show at the Indiana State Fair will be honored at Conseco Fieldhouse on the night of the show…The Artists, Indiana State Fair and Conseco Fieldhouse will all donate the entire proceeds from the concert to the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund.”

McCarthy falls down stairs with extreme aplomb, and I laughed when she tried to go up the banister.
