Live Nation made the announcement via Facebook on Friday afternoon. The statement read:
Due to unforeseen issues with the loading dock preventing the bands from being able to load their equipment on to the stage, tonight's performance at Shoreline Amphitheatre has been rescheduled to Tuesday, July 25th in order to make repairs to the venue. Unfortunately, due to a previously scheduled personal commitment, Counting Crows will be unable to make the rescheduled performance. The band hopes to be able to return to the Bay Area soon to play for their fans.
Matchbox Twenty will be performing an extended set at Tuesday's concert and Rivers and Rust will be opening the show. Refunds are available at point of purchase. Tickets for the rescheduled performance are available at Livenation.com, the venue box office or by calling 1-800-745-3000.
Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty explained on Instagram that the venue had "serious structural damage at the venue that made it impossible for our crew and our gear to get into the venue safely."
The Counting Crows took to Twitter to voice their displeasure over the situation. "It's some truly messed up s*** but I'm told we can't load any eqpmt into Shoreline tonight & the show is cancelled. So pissed."
They followed up the tweet with the following:
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Matchbox Twenty's debut album "Yourself or Someone Like You," currently certified 12 times platinum. this year marks the 20th anniversary of Matchbox Twenty's debut album "Yourself or Someone Like You," currently certified 12 times platinum.
