Well, this isn’t fun. Jesus and Mary Chain Reschedule 35 Denton Performance for Wednesday Night Free Concert. Here’s the release:
Due to work visa issues beyond their control, The Jesus and Mary Chain are unable to leave London until Monday and have been forced to make tour adjustments. 35 Denton organizers have worked closely with the band and its management to overcome this obstacle: The Jesus and Mary Chain will play a free show Wednesday night, March 14, at the North Texas Fairgrounds at 7:00 p.m.
Festival attendees with wristbands will have access to a secured VIP area at the front of the stage and will receive priority entry to the venue at Wednesday night’s free show. Wristbands will be sold to the general public, but are in limited supply. They will be available for purchase until all are sold. The Jesus and Mary Chain’s Sunday night slot at 35 Denton will be filled with another performer yet to be announced. Follow 35 Denton on Facebook and Twitter or visit 35denton.com for more information.
“This is unfortunate, but we’ve been able to make the best of a bad situation,” said Kyle La Valley, 35 Denton creative director. “Jesus and Mary Chain have been terrific in working with us on this, and they’ve gone out of their way to make it up to Denton. We’re very happy that we’ve been able to work it out and still bring them to town. With a special guest set for Sunday and the surprises in store for Wednesday night, this has actually allowed us to grow this year’s festival.”
“We deeply regret not being able to get to Denton in time for the festival,” said the band’s William Reid. “We promise that the fans who come to the show on Wednesday will not be disappointed!”
The band also had to reschedule their March 12 show in New Orleans for September 5, 2012. The remaining dates – House of Blues Houston on Tuesday, March 13 and their SXSW performance on Thursday, March 15 will go on as planned.
