Okay so I am not going to be talking about the concert I did go to, but the concert that ended up changing an hour before it started and I never went to. This actually almost broke my heart a bit. But this has been a concert I wanted to go to because said band was splitting up and either breaking up or heading on hiatus.
So I had heard of a contest on the Radio while I was working out in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It was a contest giving away tickets for a festival called X-Fest 2012 I beleive, but don't quote me on that. The headliner at the time was... sigh... Linkin Park, a band i fell out of love and respect with. But what attracted me to this contest and festival was the Co-Headliner band; Incubus. Why did they attract me soooooo much? Well for starters, Incubus has been one of my favorite bands, next to System of a Down. Secondly, they had announced that year they would no longer be a band, splitting up. This was one of the last festivals, actually tours because it was going straight across Canada, the band, I had thought at the time, would be together.
So I called in for the contest, and was lucky enough to win. I am always bad at these call in and caller number ten wins a pair of tickets deal. I lucked out and was amazingly happy and excited. I was going to see what I thought was Incubus last show before calling it quits. I think it was the week of the concert, it was getting hyped up. Incubus made known on their site this was one of their last gigs together. Everything was accumulating to make this event SOOOOO much more important then it already is. Majority of the people going were only going JUST to see Incubus's last performances.
The day before, it was reported, or maybe it was the day of before any major band was playing, Brendan Boyd, Lead singer of Incubus had a throat infection and became very sick and thus had to cancel the tour. This had broke my heart beyond words, the one band I loved and respected had to drop out and there may not be another chance to see them. Again.
