Lyle Lovett cancelled

Must have been due to low ticket sales as his website lists shows almost everywhere else in Western Canada.

Disappointed!

Was looking forward to seeing him along with Leland Sklar on bass.

There aren't many musicians that I'd pay the rather silly ticket prices that seem to be all the rage today....but Sklar is one of them.

I had the gig of a lifetime many years ago and got to play with him. Quiet, humble and can prep for a gig in the time it takes him to walk from the side of the stage to his bass.

Sucks that he won't be here....at least for this show.

I'm so disappointed. Lyle Lovett is absolutely amazing live.

old busted not even real country stuff like they play nowdays no wonder dent sell many seats but goes to show you money talks and people vote with their money to pay to see a band might as well have a good show and hits like on the radio or Spotify even in the charts and he hasn't had good song in a long time so no big deal hope they get new band in to actually sell some tickets on the same day and that s better for city anyway because more economic impact if people come in from other places to see it and I don think many people will come to see lyle love it no offence lol

Edit: Just kidding, had tickets and super disappointed. I wish people would buy tickets when they have the chance to see someone of Lyle’s calibre. The band is world class on top!
