About an hour ago, Sugarland announced that it’s canceling its next three shows (in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Phoenix), but that the tour will resume July 30 at Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend.
Both the Portland-based promoter of the show and the venue are telling me that the band will perform here a week from tonight.
Personally, I’ve shifted from thinking this concert will not happen to thinking that it will, primarily because I think all involved — band, promoter, venue — are going to do everything they can to keep from canceling on Bend for the second time in two years. Sugarland surely doesn’t want to alienate its fans in Oregon, and you can bet that, given the Schwab’s limited 2009 lineup, the folks responsible for bringing Sugarland here need one of their biggest names of the summer to show up.

How could you leave Sub Pop recording artist Vetiver @ Silvermoon off of the music events list? I don’t think the show has been cancelled has it?
First things first: No. Vetiver is not canceled. In fact, I just got off the phone with Andy Cabic and will have an article on the band in next week’s GO! Magazine.
As for the music events list, it’s possible that it just doesn’t extend quite far enough to show the Vetiver gig, which happens 7/31. Vetiver may actually be the next thing to pop up on the list.
On the other hand, that calendar program can be a little ornery, so it’s possible there’s a problem and the listing isn’t showing up for some reason. I’ll look into it.
Regardless, yes, it’s still happening.
