DATE OF RELEASE: May 20, 2026
EVENT DATE: May 21, 2026
VENUE: Lynchburg Amphitheater at Riverfront Park, Lynchburg, Virginia
LYNCHBURG, VA — Mason Lane Entertainment, organizers of the Dos Amigos Tour, announce today that tomorrow’s scheduled concert featuring legendary rock icons ZZ Top and country music star Dwight Yoakam at the Lynchburg Amphitheater at Riverfront Park has been cancelled. The decision was made in direct response to a forecast of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms expected to move through the Lynchburg area on May 21, 2026, presenting unacceptable safety risks for concertgoers, artists, and production crew alike.
After careful monitoring of the weather forecast and consultation with venue management and local authorities, it became clear that weather conditions would significantly impact the show experience and could ultimately prevent the event from taking place safely. The safety of our fans, artists, crews, and staff must always come first, and this decision was made out of an abundance of caution due to the potential for severe weather conditions.
“We deeply regret the disappointment this causes for fans who were looking forward to this incredible night of music and appreciate everyone’s understanding and support. We also thank ZZ Top, Dwight Yoakam, and their teams for their partnership and cooperation throughout this process.”
Ticket purchasers will receive additional information regarding refund options via the email address associated with their order.
