XPR Augusta suspends concert plans over stadium structural issue

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - A series of concerts planned at a refurbished Lake Olmstead Stadium could be running into some snags.

A statement from C4 Live said it has temporarily suspended event production after encountering a potential structural issue at the stadium earlier this week.

The company says the production team is coordinating with experts to figure out how severe the issue is.

The XPR Augusta concert series and XPR Fan Fest lifestyle festival have been planned for Masters Week, April 2-9, as the first in a yearlong series of events at the newly revitalized stadium.

Jimmy Buffett was the latest headliner to be added to the XPR Augusta lineup after country music stars Blake Shelton and Tim McGraw were confirmed, with Pitbull and Nelly as opening acts.

XPR Fan Fest has been touted as a daytime entertainment destination for visitors and local residents featuring gourmet dining, plus interactive, golf-inspired brand experiences from top lifestyle brands.
