Dwight Yoakam and The Cadillac Three

Due to structural issues, the Dwight Yoakam concert, formerly scheduled to take place at the Atlantic Union Bank Pavilion in Portsmouth, has been moved to Chrysler Hall. The City of Portsmouth will keep the venue closed for the entire remainder of the year while the roof undergoes work. Previously purchased tickets to this concert will be honored at the door. Visit www.pavilionconcerts.com for more information regarding the relocation.
