NJ Heat Wave Postpones Concert: New Date Set
1 Jul
Summary
- A major heat wave in New Jersey caused concert postponement.
- The concert is rescheduled for July 17 at 5 p.m.
- Tickets remain valid, but refunds are available until July 8.
A major heat wave expected to hit New Jersey has resulted in the postponement of a scheduled concert in Monmouth County. The Monmouth 250th concert at ParkStage, which was set to feature Little Seven and the Disciples of Soul, has been rescheduled to July 17 at 5 p.m.
An extreme heat warning has been issued for most of the state, with dangerous temperatures anticipated for several days. This prompted officials from the Count Basie Center for the Arts and Steven Van Zandt to prioritize attendee safety.
Commissioner Director Thomas Arnone stated that the safety of concertgoers, employees, and artists is paramount. Adam Phillipson, president and CEO of the Count Basie Center for the Arts, acknowledged the difficult decision but emphasized the need to address potentially record-breaking temperatures.
Tickets purchased for the original date will be valid for the rescheduled event. Those unable to attend the new date can request a refund from Ticketmaster by July 8. The rescheduled lineup includes Jake Clemons Band, Joe Grushecy and the Houserocks with Gary U.S. Bonds and The Weeklings.
