Monday’s Stevie Nicks concert at Chastain Park Amphitheatre has been postponed until Wednesday, Aug. 17.
A release from concert promoter Live Nation cites a medical reason as cause for the switch.
Tickets for Monday’s show can be used at the new date. Also, some additional seats have just been released.
The 8 p.m. show time with opener Michael Grimm remains the same.
Refunds, if necessary, are available at point of purchase.

I understand if she needed to cancel her show for medical reasons. However, i do not agree with rescheduling it for Wednesday Aug 17th which means she is cancelling her Indy show that night. Second time she has cancelled in Indy this year. Three shows that were scheduled at the Indy State Fair (Wed, Thur, Fri) also won’t be playing due to the tragic stage collapse. She could have been more sensitive to the situation in Indy and honored her obligation to play at Verizon. Love Stevie, but she has really let me down!

I’m one of those with tickets to the scheduled Wednesday night concert – that got cancelled so that they could postpone the one in Atlanta! Doesn’t sound like ours will be rescheduled – VERY DISAPPOINTING!

Thanks a whole bunch, Stevie, you witch! You cancelled the show we had tix for in Indy so you could do Atlanta on the 17th. We had saved and budgeted and greatly anticipated the show, had arranged to get off work, and now all for nothing. After this happening, I wouldn’t walk across the street to see you for free. Have a crappy rest of the summer.

Stevie Nicks was good to see perform in her prime but now she’s just a predictable fat boring old lady shell of what she used to be. Plus she’s a greedy money grubbing bee. Personally, I love seeing all the classic rockers, but if Stevie never plays in the Atlanta area again it will be too soon for me. I also find it weird that girls from their teens to their mid-twenties idolize Stevie Nicks almost to the point that they think she’s a goddess who loves them in return. Hopefully someday they will realize that Stevie only desires their $$$$$$ and really couldn’t care less if they drop dead the minute after they’ve transferred all the funds from their accounts into hers. Not hatin’, just sayin’.

I would first like to say that I hope Stevie gets well soon! She is an amazing artist!!! I’ve loved her since I can remember. I am however bummed about Indy being cancelled for Atlanta, doesn’t seem fair. However, I will always be one of her biggest fans and will settle for a night on the town since my hotel is paid for and I’ve already requested off of work and I will listen to her new album on my drive to Indy!

Well I must admit we flew into Atlanta to see Stevie Nicks. We could of stayed In Dallas ( where we live) and watched her there. But looks like we made bad choice. Maybe another year! Anyway we still love her and we were looking for a place with nice weather and outdoors.

Came to Atlanta from Destin, FL to see the show. I am disappointed that it has been postponed, but hope she is feeling better by Wednesday. Meet a really nice couple at our hotel and they were super excited to buy our tickets from us. Unfortunately we can’t stay until Wednesday. Happy though to pay it forward and make someone else’s day. The couple are getting married soon and really wanted our tickets.

I don’t believe STEVIE personally cancelled the show in Indy … I am pretty sure her management is the one that made that decision … so don’t be slammin’ her … she is awesome to be her age and still able to tour/perform … I can only imagine .. I am a lead singer in a local band and playing just 3 days every weekend wears me out and burns me out and I am 51 … so give her a break … I am sure she is NOT greedy … THIS IS HER JOB …. it’s her source of income … just like the ones that go to an office every day … and as far as her wanting a concert setting, I don’t BLAME her … if you are gonna pay that kinda money to SEE her, why ya wanna sit around a table and eat and chit chat and ignore her?? She’s probably like “HELLO, I am performing my butt off up hear…you folks paid lotsa money to see me now pay attention!!” Nothing worse than playing a venue and folks say hey turn the music down we are trying to talk … I’m like, well shut the crap up I’m trying to WORK!!! I’m getting paid to perform … if you wanna chit chat GO TO STARBUCKS!!!

She just lost a lot in my book. I live in INDY and she cancelled our show because of 1 thing, money. Atlanta sold more tickets so she broke her comittment to us. I was at Sugarland, well away from the stage, and they had to cancel Lady A. and Janet Jackson because the stage is gone so her actions are very untimely.

Stevie has canceled Indianapolis twice and not rescheduled both time sounds like Indy and her fans are not that important to Stevie.

First, no one even knows if the medical was actually Stevie. Second, the food, picnic, blah blah – has gotten out of hand over the years. I don’t blame Stevie and/or her promoters for asking for a show without all the busy busy around candles, pass the wine, pass the salt, blah blah. It’s a concert – come listen and enjoy. I’ve been to so many shows (sitting at a table) where people are so noisy, more involved in their shrimp and wine and socializing that the concert is really not their priority. It’s extremely disturbing to those who only want to go for the music. Now, with that said – due to the heat in Atlanta – it would have been preferable for most that concert goers be allowed to bring a small cooler of drinks.

Give her a break… she has been doing a lot of promotional stuff for her new CD. She has been running ragged…and she just got over pneumonia in May… I can’t believe she is out on the tour again!!! I saw her in March in SF and then in 2009 with Fleetwood Mac. she is the best.!!!..love her

At least your show was rescheduled, Atlanta! We were 90 % sold out show here in Indianapolis and were canceled. A statement from Stevie would have been nice. She has canceled multiple times on Indianapolis. I understand a health emergency, but why treat your loyal fans in Indianapolis with such disregard in order to reschedule another city. We do not have another date. I have been a lifelong fan, but no longer.

Seriously ??? Do ya’ll REALLY think Stevie is PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for cancelling the Indy show??? Obviously ya’ll don’t understand the business … trust me … Stevie does NOT call the shots as to what shows are cancelled/rescheduled period! HER M-A-N-A-G-E-M-E-N-T company does … guess if something out of her control happens that you don’;t like you stop being a fan then guess you weren’t a TRUE fan to begin with … you think her management calls her up and says …. HEY STEVIE, you want us to cancel your show in Indy and make all your fans mad???? NO …they call HER and say we are cancelling the show in Indy because ….. ????? for whatever THEIR reasons were …. Stevie just wants to sing and entertain …. Please stop bashing on her, k? She is 63 yrs old for goodness sake and probably just glad she’s still capable to get up and sing period and that she still has a following!!!!! >just sayin< LOOKING forward to seeing you tonite Ms. Nicks … rock on sister!!

I AM A HUGE FAN OF STEVIE NICKS, AND FLEETWOODMAC. I SAW THEM IN CONCERT IN ATLANTA, GA AT THE OMNI. IN 1982 THEY DID A OUTSTANDING SHOW!!! STEVIE NICKS IS A GREAT SINGER AND A SONG WRITER. AND VERY TALENTED! SHE WRITES HER OWN SONGS, I WISHED I COULD HAVE GONE TO THIS CONCERT. TO THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO SEE STEVIE, HAVE A GREAT TIME. TAKE CARE STEVIE.

Atlanta show was fantastic! Stevie still rocks and sings beautifully! The show was nicely mixed between new songs alternating with “old treasures”. It was a very personal show and of course great venue at Chastain! Michael Grimm was great also…will definitely look into more of his music! Stevie’s voice was truly strained and she tried to save it for singing instead of talking. She sang beautiful as usual. She put on such a great show and I’m so glad I got to see her again. Indiana, I’m sorry her show was cancelled I hope she reschedules soon. I’m still floating on clouds from the show! Stevie will always be one of my favorite songwriters and performers!

Yea, the reason Stevie is playing in Atlanta is because she decided to slap Indianapolis in the face, cancel the concert here and come to Atlanta instead. What a classless act! They notified Indy 48 hours prior to the concert. We had our tickets for 2 months…will never buy another ticket for her concerts. After what Indy went through last weekend, we really needed an escape. Train & Maroon 5 are playing here tonight & donating all their proceeds to the Memorial fund of the people that lost their lives…Now that is CLASS!

She canceled in Indy 10 years ago because of illness and NEVER resheduled. Don’t hold your breath Indy. I for one will not be tying up any of my money anymore on a concert of hers and then find out it’s canceled. I agree, we budget, make plans, vacations days and then get let down a second time. And after Saturday in Indy this was a poor decision even if her management company did make it. Nobody forces her to go onstage and open her mouth. She has a say in what happens. Props to Train and Maroon 5 for moving their show to Conseco from the fairground and performing and donating over 300 grand to the victims. These are true performers who care. I agree, if Stevie was across the street, I’d let everyone else go see her now. I’ve been burnt too many times. I doubt Indy is going to be too receptive even if she does try. Maybe that is why it wasn’t sold out to begin with. Once bitten….

People are talking bad about the Queen!!!! What???? You people are obvioulsy bitter and jaded and have nothing better to do than spread your negative energy around. Stevie is one of the best singers AND songwritters of our time. If you have no tallent and no taste; keep you useless and uninfomred comments to yourself. She is 60-freakin-3 after all!!!!

If you Indy fans are that loyal – drive to Cinci. She will be there tomorrow night. That is what I did. So can you.

Hey Rich-some of us work and can’t get off to drive to Cinci to see her. Hell, thats another 4 hours for me in addition to the 2 to get to Indy and then I might get there and the show would be cancelled. Not doing that anymore. Have fun. I don’t want to say anything bad about her. I wish her the best. But given the situation in Indy the past week, Atlanta should have been rescheduled and Indy left the same. If she was sick Wednesday night, that would be one thing, but to be in Atlanta and singing is disgusting. Meanwhile Maroon 5 and Train stepped up and did the right thing. Moved their show to Conseco and donated money to the victims of the stage collapse. Stevie pulling out along with 5 other concerts in one week in Indy is sickening. Indy is loyal. We have been burnt twice by Stevie now and not a single word from her lips about it either time. That’s real loyal. Probably won’t sell too many tickets for Stevie now in Indy, unless everyone wants to take a huge gamble that she will even show up. I for one, don’t!
