RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS MOVED FROM PARKING LOTOrganisers of a free RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS concert have moved the show from a parking lot to a grassy field, after realising many revellers may find high desert temperatures too hot to handle.A crowd of 50,000 concertgoers were expected to descend on a parking lot hear the Las Vegas Strip on 2 July (05) to celebrate the gambling haven's centennial.But planners of the concert, which will also feature WEEZER, have now moved the event to a soccer field at the Silver Bowl Sports Complex.Las Vegas Mayor OSCAR GOODMAN says, "On reflection, this is a better place."As well as concerns about how the crowd would handle triple digit temperatures, security planners cited difficulties getting people to and from the original site.Organisers have also added a $100,000 (£52,631) fireworks show to the free concert, one of a series of events this year (05) marking the city's 100th anniversary.0Comments | Be the first to comment!
