More Confusion Over Texas, Oklahoma Concerts

We're hearing Clay's July 7 concert set for the Nokia Theatre in Dallas, TX is being canceled and a Tulsa, OK concert is being announced for that same day. Reps at the Nokia Theatre confirm that no Clay concert was ever 100% confirmed and the official fanclub and Ticketmaster "jumped the gun".

We are still awaiting an official statement from Team Clay - however, as a consolation to our Texas fans, the Nokia Theatre says Clay will be at Pizza Hut Stadium in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, TX on the "weekend" of July 4 (note: July 4 is a Wednesday) for their Independence Day celebrations. You can also choose to go to the Houston concert on July 6. Again, details of this concert are to be announced.

To recap:

• The July 7 Dallas, TX concert previously scheduled for the Nokia Theatre is CANCELED.
• A concert will occur at the Brady Theater in Tulsa, OK on July 7.
• Clay is rumored to appear in the week of July 4 at Pizza Hut Stadium in Frisco, TX.
• Details have not been confirmed for any of these concerts. Ticketing information for Tulsa and Frisco are TBA.
  

Dallas, Tulsa Tour Dates Cause Confusion

There is wide confusion tonight as the Nokia Theater in Dallas, TX has withdrawn Clay's July 7 concert from Ticketmaster. Yesterday, the Brady Theatre in Tulsa, OK announced that Clay would be performing there on that same night - July 7.

As it stands right now, the official fanclub is still listing the July 7 Dallas, TX date NOT the Tulsa, OK concert.

In addition, the Dallas venue has moved the public on sale date from April 16 to April 21.

CDD will keep you posted on this confusion as it develops and gets resolved.
