Update: The Dead & Company concert for Wednesday night has been canceled.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) is gearing up for large crowds for a few almost sold-out concerts over the next few days. The New York State Park Police is expecting heavy traffic in and around Saratoga Springs and Saratoga Spa State Park for these events.

On Wednesday, Dead & Company was set to return to SPAC, but was canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Tickets purchased online through Ticketmaster or Live Nation will automatically be refunded. Tickets not purchased online can be refunded at the point of purchase

On Thursday, country singer Morgan Wallen is making his way to SPAC with special guest HARDY. The lawn for this concert is sold out, but a few inside seats are available, according to the Live Nation website.

Dave Matthews Band is coming to SPAC for two nights on Friday, July 8, and Saturday, July 9. For both concerts, inside seats are sold out except for verified resale seats, and lawn seats are still available.

The New York State Park Police encourages concert-goers to arrive early, use alternative modes of transportation, drink responsibly and have a designated driver or drive sober.
