Or keep the show as planned (for now anyways), but give the people an option to cancel w/refund if it's not already an option now.
Just in this thread, several have decided not to go...does anyone have the option to cancel and be refunded?
Come on Stones - do the right thing!

I don't think the Stones can cancel the show. It's not their decision to make.

The current tropical storm expected this week in the New Orleans to Baton Rouge area is expected to be a category 1 hurricane, named Berry. This is not to be compared to the much more dangerous Hurricane Katrina, back in 2005. Katrina reached its peak strength with winds of 175 mph (280 km/h), while Barry is expected to peak at 40 mph, i.e. 1/4 of the power of Katrina. All storms are dangerous, but it is still just mid July, katrina was late August, where warmer Gulf waters make hurricanes more dangerous. I will assume the flooding will be the biggest problem, as long as people stay smart and follow advices given by locals and authorities.

This show should be cancelled. I have friends here in the East coast whose flights were cancelled because of the storm. What they suppose to do drive into this mess.

Barring a major catastrophe here’s your headline-
“The Rolling Stones face down a hurricane and play to the die-hard fans who braved the weather to rock out with them,”
Nothing stops The Stones !

"could be" is the operative phrase here.
we know 100% there is a hurricane NOW and it WILL hit New Orleans.
obviously you deal w/ clear and present dangers FIRST.
if somebody is threatening you w/ a knife TODAY, you shouldn't worry if they MIGHT come back w/ a gun in a month or two....
Rescheduling is clearly the responsible and correct path here....if another hurricane shows up AGAIN then they can reschedule a 3rd Time....hurricanes are about the easiest thing to track in the world.
it is totally irresponsible not to cancel an event that will ask 1000s of people to travel directly into a the path of danger created by a natural disaster we KNOW is coming.
