Hawks playoff win pushes Janet Jackson concert back 1 day

ATLANTA (AP): The Atlanta Hawks are still alive in the playoffs and that will force fans planning to attend Janet Jackson’s concert in the city this week to wait a day to see the music star.

The Hawks rallied to beat the Boston Celtics 119-117 in Game 5 of their playoff matchup on Tuesday night, sending the series back to Atlanta for Game 6.

It means that State Farm Arena is double-booked for Thursday night. The casualty will be Jackson’s concert, Live Nation said in a statement following the team’s victory.

It will be moved to Friday. All tickets for Thursday’s show will be honored for Friday night. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase for those who are unable to change their plans.

Doors for Jackson’s show Friday will open at 6:30 pm and the concert will begin at 7:45 pm.

Organisers of Jackson’s “Together Again” tour informed attendees by email that the show has been postponed one day to accommodate the Hawks.

“Due to the Atlanta Hawks playoff game, the Janet Jackson show originally scheduled for Thursday, April 27 at State Farm Arena has been moved to Friday, April 28,” Live Nation said in a statement.

Jackson’s tour marks the first time the Grammy award winner is back on a stage since 2019, but her fans in Atlanta will have to wait one more day.
