RUSH - New Orleans Show In Jeopardy?
April 14, 2008, 16 years ago
According to RUSH fan-site Power Windows and The Times-Picayune, the Rush concert slated for Saturday, April 19 at the New Orleans Arena may be rescheduled depending on the Hornets' playoff schedule. That playoff schedule has yet to be determined.
"We'll find out at midnight Wednesday, when the regular NBA season ends," said arena spokesman Bill Curl. "We'll make an announcement Thursday morning."When concert promoter Live Nation booked Rush at the New Orleans Arena, they were aware of this potential April 19 conflict, Curl said. "The first option on that date was always a playoff game for the Hornets," Curl said. "The NBA is aware of our situation, but they have first call on the date if they want it. Rush would have to move."
More than 10,000 tickets have been sold for the Rush show, Curl said. He was unsure when the concert might be rescheduled if it moves. The band is slated to perform in Houston on Sunday, April 20, then in Austin on Wednesday, April 23.
