Overview
- The California State Fair announced the cancellation roughly five hours before showtime on Saturday, leaving rows of empty chairs at the Sky River Casino Stage.
- Organizers said refunds for ticket holders would be processed automatically and published a box-office email for questions.
- Wyclef Jean posted Instagram videos earlier that day appearing to show him at a funeral, but neither he nor fair officials linked those posts to the cancellation.
- Cal Expo confirmed the rest of the concert series will continue and a replacement act, Tower of Power, was scheduled for the following day.
- Media outlets sought comment from Jean’s representatives without success and fair officials have not provided any additional details about the cause of the last-minute withdrawal.
