SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. —

A band that canceled their concert in Simpsonville, South Carolina, due to weather is addressing the backlash the cancelation caused online and announcing their rescheduled show Thursday night also won't happen.

(Video above was a report on Wednesday about the Tuesday night show cancelation)

The Swedish rock band Ghost was set to perform at the CCNB Amphitheatre Tuesday night.

Some fans say they drove from hours away to see the band but weather forced the show to be canceled.

Several concertgoers reached out to WYFF News 4 on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning about their concerns over how the communication was handled.

You can watch fan reaction and what the city of Simpsonville said Wednesday below:

About 9 p.m. Wednesday night the band went on social media to explain what happened and announced their Thursday night show is canceled as well.

The message addressed to "Children of South Carolina (and beyond)!" started off with an apology to fans and said they had to "maneuver through a lot of bureaucratic hoops."

It said the band was concerned about the weather Tuesday morning and were assured the weather would be fine later in the day.

According to the message, it started raining heavily during the morning set up and some of the equipment started to malfunction.

The band said the equipment was repaired and parts were swapped to "make the show happen."

When the opening band started Ghost said "a sudden torrential rain began (as well as thunder), and the entire stage was completely flooded."

The band said as the rain subsided "it was clear that many of the key components of our show presentation were totally inoperable, mainly the sound and lighting control consoles, definably a show stopping problem. All in all, it was impossible for us to perform and we told the venue this."

The post went on to say, "We insisted the venue/promoter explain IMMEDIATELY to all our fans that were patiently waiting to be let back into the venue but we were met with legalese."

To read how Simpsonville responded to complaints on Wednesday, click here.

The band said in the post that despite effort to get the system working again it was clear nothing would work.

Due to that the band said it has to cancel the rescheduled Thursday concert as well.

The post said "Refunds will be issued automatically at point of purchase, there is nothing further ticketholders need to do."

"We are heartbroken thinking about what all you fans were put through because of this."

The city of Simpsonville provided the following statement on Thursday morning:

"The City of Simpsonville is proud of the role that the CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park plays in the high quality of life in Simpsonville and looks forward to remaining concerts and festivals this season."

SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. —

Fans of a country singer slated to appear in South Carolina this week are in for some disappointment after the artist canceled some shows.

(Above video is the Tuesday morning headlines for 10/3/23.)

Michael Wilson Hardy, or just HARDY as he's known to fans, announced Tuesday he was pulling the plug on two mockingbird & THE CROW tour dates, including the one set for Thursday, Oct. 5, at the CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park in Simpsonville.

The venue posted on its website that ticketholders will be receiving an email from Ticketmaster.

HARDY posted about the decision on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, saying:

"I've been dealing with some serious anxiety since the bus accident last year and over the last two weeks, it has taken control of my life. It caused me to suffer many panic attacks which have landed me in the hospital. I need a moment to focus on me and to make myself better for my wife, family and you, the fans."

More news (story continues after links.)

Along with the Heritage Park appearance, HARDY also canceled his show on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Athens Fairgrounds, in Winterville, Georgia.

"Refunds for these two shows will be available from the point of purchase," HARDY wrote.

HARDY suffered significant injuries on Oct. 2, 2022, in an early-morning crash when his tour bus overturned on a stretch of Interstate 40 West in Nashville.

Also injured in the crash was the bus driver, HARDY's manager and a photographer/videographer, Tanner Gallagher, who posted on Instagram about the crash more than a week after it happened.

HARDY has written songs for Florida Georgia Line, Chris Lane, Blake Shelton, Dallas Smith, Thomas Rhett, and Morgan Wallen.

"My plan is to be back and focused on Oct. 12th," HARDY ended his post. "Thank you for understanding, see you soon."

SIMPSONVILLE, S.C. —

Storms Tuesday night led to a decision to postpone a Simpsonville concert, but the way it was postponed caused backlash.

Hundreds of people drove from hours away to see the Swedish rock band Ghost live. Now, those hundreds of fans could be out thousands of dollars.

Concertgoers were evacuated a few minutes into the opening band's set after lighting was spotted nearby. Joshua Chorman said after that, communication was touch and go.

"Eight o'clock, we were told it had been canceled. And then at 8:45, they finally posted on social media, and they were saying that the event was on hold, that it would likely open back up, they're keeping an eye on it," Chorman said, "9:45 they say they're setting back up."

Chorman said he and hundreds of other fans drove back to CCNB Amphitheatre and waited outside hours for another update.

At "11:45, they post on social media that they're sorry, but the show's been canceled. At 11:45, like we'd been waiting literally in line all day. The communication was terrible," he said.

The venue posted the band's equipment had been damaged in the rain. At CCNB Amphitheatre, city of Simpsonville spokesperson Justin Campbell says artists are responsible to keeping their own equipment protected and dry.

"We can't make the band or the tour go onstage," Campbell said. "They reported that there was some damaged equipment for lighting or sound. And because of that, they chose not to continue the concert."

The concert has been rescheduled for Thursday.

"We have things to do," Troy Baker said, with his daughter dressed head to toe in Ghost gear. "She was going to start a brand-new job tomorrow. I had to take two days off of work, and now, if we come back, it's two more days."

The city of Simpsonville owns the CCNB Amphitheater, and Campbell says he and his family were at the concert.

"On behalf of the city, we understand people's frustration, waiting on getting information, not knowing when you're going to back in or if the concert's going to continue," he said.

But when it comes to communication, Campbell says the venue's hands were tied because of their agreement with Live Nation.

"But our people, TRZ management, were being told when they could make updates. And if they give out updates when they're not supposed to, that's a liability," Campbell said.

In the end, Campbell said Ghost decided to cancel and reschedule for Thursday because Hurricane Idalia had already canceled their Florida show that day.

Campbell went on to say the city and venue did get permission to push Simpsonville's quiet hours back to midnight in case the show went on after the evacuation.

Several concertgoers told our WYFF News 4 crew they couldn't get a refund from Ticketmaster. Campbell said if Ticketmaster doesn't come through, to email the city at c@simpsonville.com.

We reached out to Ghost, Live Nation, and Ticketmaster for comment. We had not heard back by the time this article was published.
