Oliver Anthony Cancels Knoxville Concert, Apologizes for High Ticket Prices, And Vows to Find Affordable Alternative

“I’m just upset seeing those prices,” Anthony admitted in a statement to his fans.

Oliver Anthony has made the difficult decision to cancel his upcoming concert at the Cotton Eyed Joe in Knoxville, Tennessee. 

The rising country artist, known for his viral hit “Rich Men North Of Richmond,” expressed his disappointment at the high ticket prices ($99) and paid meet-and-greet opportunities ($199) associated with the show.

Taking responsibility for the situation, Anthony shared a statement with his followers that provided full transparency regarding the circumstances.

“Cotton Eyed Joe has been cancelled. Ultimately, it’s my fault for not being more directly involved with the venues who have reached out,” Anthony admitted. “My plate has been full and I delegated the responsibility to someone else to help me book. I am not pointing fingers at Cotton Eyed Joe, I don’t know where the miscommunication took place.”
