Mellencamp adds to rough run of Hall cancellations

CHAMPAIGN – John Mellencamp will not be coming to the University of Illinois Assembly Hall – at least not this fall.

The Assembly Hall and Chicago-based JAM Productions, which was putting on the show, announced the Mellencamp concert featuring Los Lobos, set for the UI homecoming on Oct. 27, has been canceled. No reason was given. The show will not be rescheduled. Refunds will be available starting Tuesday and will be given at the point of purchase.
