Originally scheduled for July 29, the show at Smokies Stadium in Sevierville, which would have featured Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp, has been canceled. No word on why, only that tickets are refundable at the point of purchase. A spokesman for the stadium says officials there are “very sad” to report the cancellation.

Some interesting shows of note on the East Tennessee live performance horizon, courtesy of Pollstar:

• June 10 at “The Shed” at Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson in Maryville: Christian music group Fireflight performs with The Day Of at 6:30 p.m.; tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the gate. Check out Fireflight online.
• The eclectic rock of Katzenjammer will open for Grace Potter and the Nocturnals on June 11 at the Sundown in the City free concert series on Market Square in downtown Knoxville.
• June 19, bluegrass phenoms The Infamous Stringdusters will perform at The Square Room in downtown Knoxville. Read a recent story we did on the band here.
• L.A. Guns is still around? Apparently so, and the band is perform at Big Mama’s Karaoke Cafe in Seymour on July 4.
• Garage-punk rocker Jay Reatard will hit The Pilot Light in Knoxville’s Old City on July 8.
• Prepare to shell out some bucks on July 29 — it’s a triple bill at Smokies Stadium in Sevierville featuring Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. We feel like it’ll be worth it.
