It was supposed to be a trio of Canadian music lighting up the stage for the Keep Calm Summer’s On concert and now it appears to be cancelled.

The concert featuring Vernon’s very own Andrew Allen, Steven Page (formerly of Barenaked Ladies), and pop singer Tyler Shaw was supposed to take place on February 22, at 6:30, at Kal Tire Place, but according to Ticket Seller, the event is a no-go.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to announce that Keep Calm, Summer’s On concert event is cancelled. Please note all refunds will be granted through www.ticketseller.ca or 250 549 7469,” stated Cane.
