Parker McCollum is making good on his promise to fans in State College, Pennsylvania, after he had to cut his What Kinda Man Tour performance short due to illness. McCollum has rescheduled the concert for October 2nd, assuring fans that the new show will be an even bigger and better experience.
What Happened in State College?
During his performance at the Bryce Jordan Center, McCollum was just a few songs into the set when fans noticed something was off. He suddenly left the stage, and moments later, the rest of the show was officially canceled. McCollum later explained on social media that he had never walked off a stage mid-show, and in this instance, he barely made it offstage before getting violently ill. He shared that he “was in the bushes for about 10 minutes” before he was able to recover enough to get back to his bus.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, McCollum refunded all tickets from that night and promised fans that he would make things right.
New Date, New Show
McCollum took to Instagram to update fans on the rescheduled show. He announced that the new date would be October 2nd, with new openers, fresh production, and an entirely new setlist. For fans who already purchased tickets, he assured them that the original tickets would still be valid for the new date, so there was no need to buy new ones.
McCollum expressed his excitement about getting back to 100% and delivering a show that would live up to the fans’ expectations.
Fans Appreciate His Effort
While canceled shows are never ideal, especially when fans have made travel arrangements, McCollum’s quick response and the promise to reschedule with an even bigger show have been well-received. His fans appreciate his commitment to making things right, especially in an era where some artists have faced backlash for last-minute cancellations without much explanation.
For those who missed out on the original show in State College, October 2nd is the chance to catch Parker McCollum live, with a fresh performance that promises to be worth the wait.
