Artist and promoter representatives for the News Year’s Eve concert have announced that the Dec. 31 event at the Sommet Center has been cancelled due to the troubled economy.

“For the past 12 years, we’ve been fortunate to have the biggest names in music celebrate New Year’s Eve in Nashville, but there is no denying that our core audience has been financially challenged by the hard realities of a flattened economy," said Steve Moore of MEG / AEG Live.

“We believe it is in the best interest of the artist and the event producers, to remove the event from the calendar for 2008, regroup, and work to come back next year, to a better market environment. On behalf of the Artists we apologize for any inconvenience this situation has created.”
