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.
