(Marshall County, IN) - Owners of the Plymouth Motor Speedway are waving the yellow flag on efforts to offer concerts at their venue.
Friday night’s concert featuring Night Ranger, Jackyl, FireHouse, and Enuff Z Nuff, was cancelled, along with next week’s Christian music concert with TobyMac, Tenth Ave North, and Cochren & Co.
The reason: low ticket sales.
Speedway officials said they’ve given it their best shot to provide live music, but have lost money on events over the past two years.
All purchased tickets for the two cancelled shows will be refunded. Concert organizers are making it up to those ticket holders by accepting the cancelled tickets for entry to an upcoming rock concert on August 30. That show features Hairball, an arena rock tribute band.
According to a statement from the speedway last week, they plan to “to regroup and revisit this concept of future concerts at the Plymouth Motor Speedway.” In the meantime, they say auto racing events are still going strong, with several more races to go this season. The next one is the Grand Slam Outlaw Late Model Race on August 17th.
