From the Verizon Arena:

Verizon Arena regrets to announce that tomorrow night’s Jimmy Buffett concert, Saturday December 7th, has been cancelled due to severe winter weather conditions, including freezing rain, sleet and snow.

We regret we have had to cancel the concert, but our patrons safety is always first and foremost.”
