The Avett Brothers, Gov't Mule move shows from Garfield Park to Fishers Nickel Plate District
Aug. 9 update: Gov't Mule has also moved its show, originally scheduled for Aug. 19 at Garfield Park, to the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater in Fishers. Promoter MOKB Presents cited logistical issues at the MacAllister Amphitheater.
“During our advance process, it was determined that the complications arising from multiple tour buses and production semis would put too much strain on the MacAllister Amphitheater," MOKB Presents co-owner Dan Kemer said in a written statement. "In the best interest of the fans, the park and the surrounding neighborhood, our best option was to relocate the show to a larger venue."
Original story: Alternative-country band The Avett Brothers will now perform their back-to-back Indiana shows in Fishers later this month.
The concerts, originally scheduled for Aug. 20-21 at Garfield Park’s MacAllister Amphitheater, will now be at Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, located at 6 Municipal Drive in Fishers. The show dates and times remain the same.
IndyStar has reached out to promoters MOKB Presents, who announced the venue change Wednesday, to learn more about the move.
