Lil Jon Concert Cancelled

The Lil John concert scheduled for February 24th at Glasgow’s historic Plaza Theatre has been canceled.  The Venue and artist were booked by a local non-profit organization known as Helping the Hardworking.  The organization is headed by current Barren County Judge-Executive, Jamie Byrd.

She tells WCLU News, the lack of ticket sales forced the decision.

At a cost of around $145,000 to bring Lil John to Glasgow, the risk was just too great to keep the event as scheduled, explained Byrd.

She tells WCLU News that as of now, the $55,000 booking fee deposit is not refundable, but perhaps could be refunded in some way.

Going forward, Byrd says Helping the Hardworking will not pursue further concert ventures.

Those who did purchase tickets will be getting a full refund.
