Hedley Coming To Peterborough April 15th
/
"The PMC is excited to welcome back Hedley for their 2016 Hello World Tour," John Salfi, Program and Promotions Coordinator for PMC, tells PTBOCanada. "Hedley last played the PMC in 2014 and every time they play this building they bring an infectious energy and buzz that lifts the roof off."
Supporting Hedley on the Hello World Tour is pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen—whose infectious “Call Me Maybe” was one of the biggest hits on the planet in 2012—and Francesco Yates, whose debut single “Better to Be Loved” has already rocketed him into stardom.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, November 6th!

Read MoreJerry Seinfeld Is Coming To Peterborough April 26th!
/Peterborough Seinfeld is getting a run for his Newman, as the real Jerry Seinfeld is bringing his Seinfeld Live! tour to the Memorial Centre on April 26th—tickets will be available at the Memorial Centre starting November 29th at 10 am. Seinfeld is one of the most iconic television shows in history and the most successful sitcoms of all time so it should rank right up there with the Elton John concert—the concert Elton played here, not the one he cancelled.

PtboCanada Pics: Inside The Elton John Concert That Never Happened
/[UPDATE: Concert has been re-scheduled for Wednesday, September 19th at Memorial Centre.]
[UPDATE September 10th: Elton got his voice back in time to play last night at Fashion Cares in Toronto. Also, Sue Warrington, Memorial Centre arena division manager, was on KRUZ FM this morning, and says the decision to pull the plug was indeed made by Elton just a few minutes before he was to go on—that it was a decision made at the last minute. She says Elton arrived in Peterborough earlier than expected at the Memorial Centre and was in his dressing room resting, but cancelled at the last minute due to voice issues. She also says Elton wasn't difficult with staff, and everything was going well and smoothly up until the time he was to go on. Sue says it's her understanding it was Elton's manager who was the mystery person that announced the cancellation to the shocked audience. She also says it will definitely be re-scheduled (possibly as soon as September 19th) and to hold onto your tickets.]
ORIGINAL POST: September 9th:
Elton John cancelled his Peterborough Memorial Centre concert Saturday night shortly after 8 p.m., after everyone was seated. It was announced he was ill (that he had lost his voice) and couldn't perform, leaving about 5,000 people first thinking it was a joke and then in shock -- and many questioning the timing of the announcement (and whether there was more to it—including the lights going out in his dressing room and the smell in there.) He had performed in Sarnia Friday night and was in Toronto earlier Saturday giving interviews—and hosting a party. Drinks had been bought and lots of Elton merchandise purchased. Here's pictures from the concert that never happened...
