Jack White has scheduled a concert for Tuesday, November 20th, in hopes to accommodate those who purchased tickets to see him at the cancelled Pilgrimage Music Festival. The makeup show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena will see two of Jack White’s Third Man Records artists handle the night’s opening duties, with Joshua Hedley kicking off the night, and Margo Price performing second prior to White’s headlining set.
Earlier this month, Franklin, Tennessee’s Pilgrimage Music Festival was evacuated due to weather. Fans were told to seek shelter outside of the festival grounds at 5:52 p.m., and the festival officially cancelled its programming soon after.
Fans were understandably upset by the decision, which left them waiting in mud-stuck cars for hours without any chance of seeing Jack White, Lionel Richie, Elle King, Hozier, and the many others that were scheduled to perform on Saturday. With a glimpse of hope, fans waited for the weather to pass and the music to go on as scheduled, which never ended up happening. Pilgrimage Music Festival organizers later posted that Sunday’s programming would also be canceled, “due to additional inclement weather on its way to Franklin”.
Back in May, Margo Price played a three-night run at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. During her stand, the Americana star welcomed an impressive roster of special guests. Price’s second show featured a very special guest performance from Jack White. The two Nashville-based artists collaborated on 2007’s “Honey We Can’t Afford to Look This Cheap” by the White Stripes.
“Margo and I are gonna do a song I wrote on an airplane a few years ago,” White said explained to the audience. “It’s about songwriters living in Nashville. Maybe some of you could understand.”
