A country singer slated to perform at homecoming cancelled due to a scheduling conflict.
Country music singer Easton Corbin has cancelled his scheduled performance for Emens Auditorium for Oct. 10.
Kristi Chambers, assistant director of marketing and communications for Emens, said she didn’t get any specific details about the conflict from Corbin’s team for the cancellation.
“Travel is usually the number one reason [for scheduling conflicts] for our events,” says Chambers said. “It’s likely that it was a prior commitment, that they couldn’t get [the equipment] over to us.”
Chambers said she has gotten more negative reactions from the Muncie community than from the students, even though they had sold several hundred student tickets at the time of the cancellation.
“Typically, country shows have more of a community draw than a student draw,” says Chambers said.
All of the tickets sold so far are being refunded. Chambers said more information can be found at the Emens box office.
“I think that’s just kind of weird, that they wouldn’t give us more information about [the cancellation],” said Michelle Caneva, a junior elementary education major.
Even with their headliner gone, Emens still has plans for Homecoming week.
Preservation Hall Jazz Band performs world-wide and will team up with Allen Toussaint, a New Orleans singer-songwriter. They will perform on Oct. 11. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Emens box office.
