All shows will go on rain or shine. What this means is that if we encounter some wet weather, the show goes on. If there’s rough weather that requires us to temporarily pause the show, we’ll send everyone to their cars until it blows over.

The venue is on-call with a dedicated meteorologist watching the venue’s specific weather conditions and trends and will advise us on when it’s safe to return into the venue.

Important: Don’t leave the concert or parking lot, even if other people decide to, or if you see some venue staff leaving (their shift might be over and that doesn’t mean the concert is cancelled). Please wait until you see an official social post, text message or message board telling you the event is over (most of the time severe weather is temporary and the concert continues later).

The venue will keep our fans notified via our social channels: @firstbankamp

Will call tickets are available for pickup at the box office on show days only. Please make sure that you have a photo ID matching the purchaser's name to pick up tickets. Any name changes need to go through Ticketmaster Customer Service at 800-653-8000.
