REGARDING TONIGHT: due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, Billy Currington’s concert tonight will need to be re-scheduled. Billy has been battling vocal issues all day and is just not able to perform. Everyone at Spiedie Fest and Billy’s team is disappointed that tonight’s concert will not be able to happen. Please hold on to your tickets and stay tuned for a make up date announcement.
