Flyers-Penguins forces second sports-related Florence + The Machine concert change
- Florence + The Machine moved its April 25 Philadelphia show to Atlantic City due to a Philadelphia Flyers playoff game at the same venue.
- The relocated show will take place at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, about 60 miles from Philadelphia.
- Fans with Philadelphia tickets will be refunded automatically, while relocated-show ticket sales open to the public next week.
- Florence + The Machine cited scheduling conflicts with NHL and NBA playoffs as the reason for rescheduling one or more shows.
- The band stated the decision was the only workable solution to avoid canceling the show.
- The Flyers-Penguins playoff timing was not fully resolved until after midnight prior to the scheduling changes.
- The 76ers' playoff status and Celtics-76ers series added to the scheduling complexities at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
- The Xfinity Mobile Arena is owned in part by Comcast Spectacor, which also owns the Flyers.
- The change was announced via Florence + The Machine's social channels as the plan evolved.
