Willie Nelson postpones Wausau



Willie Nelson postpones Wausau

Cincinnati -- Country music legend Willie Nelson is coming to town. He'll perform at Riverbend's PNC Pavilion May 12th. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.

Although he didn't become a star until the mid-'70s, Nelson spent the '60s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price and Patsy Cline. During the early '70s, Nelson aligned himself with Waylon Jennings and the outlaw country movement that made him into a star in 1975.

For almost five decades Willie Nelson has been a mainstay on the country music scene.

The Performing Arts Foundation, which books events at the Grand, issued the following statement: Music superstar Willie Nelson has encountered an unanticipated scheduling conflict and has been forced to postpone next week’s performances, including the one at Wausau’s Grand Theater on ARTSblock this Tuesday evening, March 23. These dates are being moved to the fall, shortly after Nelson’s annual FarmAid festival.

The new Wausau date will be Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Please check on further information regarding his tour schedule. Ticketholders may retain their tickets for the October show or contact the ARTSblock Ticket Office to arrange a full refund or exchange for another ARTSblock-sponsored event at the Grand Theater.

Recognizing the inconvenience of this late notice, the ticket office will exchange Willie Nelson tickets for seats at the Thursday evening (March 25) performance of Gladys Knight at no additional charge. “I’m assured that Willie Nelson was reluctant to change everyone’s plans,” said ARTSblock executive director Jim O’Connell.

“We’re very pleased that we were able to find another date so quickly to bring this legend to Central Wisconsin.
