Due to concerns about the weather, country music legend Alan Jackson is postponing his two Alabama drive-in concerts to next week.
The Cullman performance will now occur on Friday, June 12, and the Baldwin County concert will be on Saturday, June 13.
The news was announced on the official Alan Jackson Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon.
“With potential tropical storm conditions in the forecast for the Alabama coast on Saturday, organizers determined it’s in the best interest of safety for fans and event staff that the Fairhope show be rescheduled,” reads the social media post.
“Given the unique nature of the staging and set up for these events, the Cullman concert is being rescheduled in conjunction with this decision,” Jackson’s page adds.
All tickets already purchased will be valid for use on the new dates.
Each ticket purchased allows for two passengers in the vehicle of the ticketholder.
The concerts were initially announced on May 27 and are designed to allow fans to enjoy live music while observing social distancing protocols during the coronavirus pandemic.
Tickets for the Cullman show are still available. The show in Fairhope has sold out its space for cars, but those with tickets can by a pass for an additional passenger.
Attendees will be required to remain in the parking spot for their vehicle, but the event’s website says each spot should have enough room to accommodate getting out of a car and sitting in a lawn chair. Backing into a spot and sitting in a truck bed is also allowed.
Jackson’s Cullman show will be held at York Farms, while the Fairhope show will be at Oak Hollow Farm.
Attendees breaking social distancing protocols will be forced to leave the show, according to the event’s website. All event staff will be wearing masks.
The tickets sold are non-refundable, and kids under four get in free of charge.
