Reyna ♔ Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Following the stage collapse which happened just before Sugarland's performance on Saturday night, August 13, other scheduled concerts at Indiana State Fair were left undetermined. Those who were supposed to sing at the festival were Janet Jackson, Maroon 5, Train and Lady Antebellum. Janet was originally set to make live performances on Wednesday, August 17. The Adam Levine band and the Pat Monahan group were initially scheduled to take the stage on the following day, and the Hillary Scott trio will take over the stage on Friday. Beside leaving those gigs undecided, officials of the fair were also forced to cancel its 4-H competitions which were supposed to take place on Sunday. One of the canceled gigs was Hoosier Rodeo Series Finals. The other scrapped one was Last Blast fireworks display which was originally set for August 21. No decision has been made for Harness races (August 18 - 20), Cheerleading Competition (August 20), and Demolition Derby (August 21), but the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Pioneer Village is confirmed to be moved to the last day next Sunday. The fairgrounds are currently closed, but will reopen for public on Monday starting 8 A.M. A memorial service will be held at 9 A.M. on the Free Stage in front of the 4-H complex. "Our thoughts, prayers, and assistance go out to the families impacted by the tragedy," said Lt. Governor and Secretary of Agriculture Becky Skillman.

Mr. Wonder Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think I heard that they've moved all events to another area of the fair for performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Concerts It’s not known yet whether Janet Jackson (set for Wednesday), Maroon5 and Train (Thursday) and Lady Antebellum (Friday) will perform. The State Fair did announce that the concerts will not be held at the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand.

Twistedvelvet Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Janet has officially cancelled hers. Maroon 5 is still happening. Not the best look for Janet, but then her schedule obviously can't allow it as she has other dates soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalQuin Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I think the fair cancelled Janet's show because they probably won't have the stage ready yet. The Lady Antebellum show is also cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think she should have been performing in that venue in the first place. If that stage went down then I would be concerned as a performer of some new stage they just throw together or some back up stage they have sitting somewhere.

vibeology Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I actually thought this thread was about Janet and Maroon 5 playing together lol. Does anyone remember when they were supposed to do a song together??? I think it was around the 20YO era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
