Roxian Theatre postpones show, cancels another over 'unexpected maintenance'
A pair of shows at the Roxian Theatre in McKees Rocks were canceled or postponed this weekend, with “unexpected maintenance” cited as the reason.
“The venue team determined that it was best to move forward with an abundance of caution and postpone events at the Roxian to begin the necessary maintenance immediately,” a venue spokesman said.
Saturday night’s show featuring alt-metal band From Ashes To New has been rescheduled to Dec. 18, while Sunday’s show featuring the electronic/hip-hop duo Hippie Sabotage was cancelled.
“We’re truly bummed to inform you that tonight’s show at Roxian Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA has been rescheduled to December 18th due to venue facility issues,” From Ashes To New said in an Instagram post on Saturday.
The band told fans they would still be doing the VIP experience in the Roxian’s foyer, while tickets for Saturday’s show will be good for the rescheduled date.
A post on the Roxian Theatre’s Facebook page said ticket holders for Hippie Sabotage would be automatically refunded if tickets were purchased through Ticketmaster. If tickets were bought through an app like StubHub or SeatGeek, ticket holders should reach out to those third-party resellers.
The next show scheduled at the Roxian comes Tuesday with English heavy metal band Loathe.
“The team is looking at each show on a case-by-case basis while the work is being done,” according to the Roxian spokesman. “Ticket purchasers will be notified directly of any changes to the schedule.”
