I regret to inform everyone that the Flashback Mystic Orchestra Tour has been cancelled. See the press release below for more detail about the reasoning.
FLASHBACK – THE CLASSIC ROCK EXPERIENCE
TOUR CANCELLED
LEXINGTON, KY (September 11, 2008) — The Tour Management of Flashback; The Classic Rock Experience featuring Mystic Orchestra, announced this morning that they are cancelling the fall tour, scheduled to stop at Rupp Arena on October 24th.
As this was a new production, the tour was experiencing a variety of technical challenges and tour management felt that it was best to revise and rebuild the show to create “the true rock concert experience” before continuing the tour.
Once the show is retooled, their plans are to tour again in the Spring of 2009. The tour management made extensive apologies for this cancellation but felt unless they could bring the best show possible to the fans, it was best to retool in the studio instead of developing the show on the road.
All tickets will be fully refunded at point of purchase. For more information, please call (859) 233-4567.
