Another postponement. Another cancellation. Another suspension. These recent developments at three of Mobile’s biggest music venues weren’t exactly positive, but they do give some insight into the seething behind-the-scenes activity that will, eventually, bring back large-scale entertainment events.
Maybe it’s early to call it a consensus, but an expectation seems to be emerging: The good old days of going out to catch a nationally known act with an energetic full house of 1,000 to 10,000 fellow fans probably won’t return before summer. It likely will be fall before the phrase “back to normal” can be deployed without irony, and possibly spring 2022 before top-tier arena concerts are back on the menu.

Alabama’s Jamey Johnson and fellow country artist Randy Houser have announced a new tour bringing them to Mobile, Huntsville and Birmingham starting in mid-February.
