Alpine Valley Show Postponed Due to Severe Weather

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band’s show that was to take place last night was postponed by local authorities due to severe weather. Buffett wanted to reschedule for today (Sunday) but that plan was not approved.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Nobody wants to play for you cheeseheads as much as me and the Coral Reefers,” Buffett wrote in a Facebook post. “But, as a pilot, I understand not fooling with bad weather. I also understand how important this show is to our fans who have waited and weathered this covid crap for us to perform. We asked to play tomorrow, but were not granted permission.”

The band is rescheduling its show though, for Aug. 20 — “rain or shine”, Buffett promises.

“That gives some of you enough time to recover from three Phish shows to be ready for us,” Buffett wrote, referencing a Phish residency at the amphitheater Aug. 12 to 14.

Tickets for last night’s show will be honored on the new date.
