Sunday Governors Island DMB Caravan in doubt
Sunday’s Governors Island Dave Matthews Band Caravan concert may not take place because of Hurricane Irene.
The show is still on as of now, but ticket holders for the Sunday Governors Island DMB Caravan may attend Friday or Saturday’s concert instead, the band announced this afternoon. But the situation may change as Hurricane Irene’s path becomes more certain.
Most computer models have Hurricane Irene making a direct or near-direct hit on New York sometime Sunday, and city officials are preparing for possible evacuations. There’s been no word if any of the bands scheduled to play the Sunday Governors Island DMB Caravan will play on the other days instead.

Thanks for the update. I have VIP for Sat. it is going to be nuts!!!!!
Nothing has been cancelled yet. According to dmbcaravan.com, Sunday ticket holders can choose to attend either Friday or Saturday. I assume this is because some people don't want to risk having their show get cancelled and then they won't be going to any concert at all. But for now, Sunday is on.
True, but I doubt they would make this offer if the show were to take place. Either way, I changed the headline to "in doubt" to reflect the fact that it hasn't been officially cancelled yet.
I'm very excited about this concert. It's my first and I love this band. It's also my boyfriends Birthday and I couldn't think of a better way of spending it! So let's get through this storm and let DMB rock New York!!
Yeah, Sunday is on! What are you smoking? Boating drunks to an island during a storm is well worth the risk.
NYC is evacuating Lower Manhattan, Battery Park, Brooklyn, etc and public transportation & flights are cancelled til next week!! Do you really think you should still be going to the concert?? I am die hard but I even I still left the city this morning to get out!!
