​John Mayer has scrapped many of his plans this fall that involve singing while he receives treatment for "something next to my vocal cords called a granuloma."

The pop singer-songwriter posted a message on his Tumblr page today announcing that he will not perform at next weekend's iHeartRadio Music Festival, and a Los Angeles show with Tony Bennett on September 24 is also not going to happen. According to Mayer, this is merely a "temporary setback," but he does not give an exact timetable for his return to the stage, or when he'll resume work on his next album, titled Born and Raised.

"Born and Raised is complete as far as music recording, song selection, and in some cases mixing, but because of this condition I couldn't finish singing on several of the tracks," he writes. "This means the record will be released next year instead of this fall or winter."

Identity Festival in Miami Canceled, for Reals

​It has been a good several weeks since Hurricane Irene was shivering anyone's bones in South Florida, but its reverberations are still felt today. The makeup date for Skullcandy's Identity Festival, which was supposed to happen at Miami's Bayfront Park on August 25, has been canceled.

There was a brief glimmer of hope when a September 30 show was offered as a salve for the original cancellation, but ultimately the lineup was crumbling too fast to keep the thing a viable offering for the discerning South Florida electronic-music crowd. The message sent out by Identity's media folks concluded with the line: "See you in 2012 barring no hurricanes." Come on, Irene!

J. Cole Has a Broken Leg -- Florida Shows Postponed

J. Cole is staying on the bench this weekend.
​If J. Cole is sick of hearing Drake comparisons in the media, he's just suffered the worst possible break -- pun intended. The Roc Nation rapper, who recently denied rumors that he angered his boss Jay-Z by making a sex tape with Rihanna, says on Twitter that he spent last night in the emergency room after breaking his leg. What was later called a "minor setback" still means that two Florida dates this weekend promoting his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, have been postponed.

The postponement affects tonight's show at Orlando's Beacham Theatre and Sunday's performance at Revolution in Fort Lauderdale.

A little history: Cole's buddy Drake had a couple of costly leg injuries a couple of years ago and had to perform at the BET Awards that year sitting on a stool. But he has rebounded nicely. Let's hope that things heal up equally nicely for currently sidelined Cole, whom we interviewed back in July. And let's especially hope that Jay-Z didn't break his leg.

Langerado Music Festival's Sketchy Ticket Refund Policy

Langerado_Cancelled.jpg
​The now-canceled Langerado Music Festival's ticket refund system is proving to be just as aggravating as the rest of the event. County Grind contributor Adam Smith posted on his blog today that he's being rewarded for his early faith in the fest with mixed messages regarding when he'll get his money back.

After purchasing early-bird tickets more than three months ago (before the full lineup was announced), Smith writes that he could be waiting weeks after the cancellation to get his credit card purchase refunded.

Elvis Costello Postpones Tour Dates, Including Hard Rock Live Show

​Elvis Costello is unfortunately unable to hit Hard Rock Live later this month for an installment of his Spectacular Spinning Songbook tour. Unfortunately, the magic song wheel and Price Is Right antics will have to wait until another time, which is probably going to be in 2012.

The show was scheduled for Sunday, September 18.

The reason given for the postponement is a serious one: an unnamed member of his family is unwell, and thus Costello's shows until September 24 are on hold. Read the full press release below, with special attention to refund/rescheduling information.

Langerado Is Canceled -- Which Bands Will Play South Florida Anyhow?

Will Donald Glover, AKA Childish Gambino, still hit South Florida?
​The aftermath of the canceled Langerado Music Festival is a sad time indeed for music fans, journalists, promoters, and upstart energy-drink producers who were hoping to expand market share. But let's not forget about the several dozen musicians who now are scrambling to fill a performance gap for the second weekend in October.

And maybe that's what some of the cash-strapped local music fans wanted anyhow instead of biting off $150 for the handful of acts that appealed to them.

We announced yesterday that the Arctic Monkeys are on their way to Revolution instead of Markham Park, and it's suspected that several other bands will follow suit with shows at the area clubs in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties. With the exception of a couple of bands that don't seem to want people to know when and where they perform, we have compiled a list of Langerado artists organized by the likelihood of a local concert.

Langerado 2011 Has Been Canceled

Langerado_Cancelled.jpg
​Unfortunately, this news popped up on the Langerado website a couple of hours ago. The South Florida music festival that has been plagued with problems the past couple years has again been scrapped -- or "cancelled" (sic). Its return to the idyllic Markham Park with a lineup of headliners including Death Cab for Cutie, Trey Anastasio Band, Thievery Corporation, Ween, and Ben Harper set for the weekend of October 8-9 sadly comes too late.

Now for many music fans in the area, this news comes as no surprise. Ever since the festival was shifted away from a Bonnaroo-style camping event to an attempt at a downtown Miami clusterscrew in 2009 -- it was eventually canceled that year too -- folks have been reluctant to purchase tickets. There was no Langerado at all in 2010, and it's unlikely there will ever be another one after this.

Identity Festival in Miami Gets a New Date!

​Things didn't look good for Thursday's Identity Festival date at Miami's Bayfront Park as soon as the threats of Hurricane Irene started rolling in early last week. The roving Skullcandy-supported electronic music festival featuring a wealth of DJs and electronic music acts, was postponed, but there was still a glimmer of hope that an announcement of a rescheduled date would come today.

And it's here! The festival is saved, and you might even want to bring a hoodie for the new date.

Identity Festival in Miami Cancelled -- Hurricane Irene Blamed

By Reed Fischer Mon., Aug. 22 2011 at 7:46 PM

IDENTITY_LOGO copy.jpg
​Update 8/29/11: A new date has been announced!

Today has been filled with little other than perfectly rational South Floridians shaking their fists in disgust and yelling, "come on, Irene!" The threat of Hurricane Irene has claimed a serious musical casualty: Skullcandy's Identity Festival stop in Miami scheduled for Thursday, August 25 has been postponed and possibly canceled altogether.

The threat of inclement weather will not affect Identity's other Florida date in Tampa the day before, but since the tour heads drastically westward after Miami, a potential reschedule date that is supposed to be released Monday is not the most promising news. And if we're all underwater then, no one's going to be thinking about Skrillex, Kaskade, DJ Shadow, and Steve Aoki for at least a couple days and we'll need guides like this one.

​Ska specialists Reel Big Fish have scrapped a pair of dates after singer Aaron Barrett fell ill after Wednesday's concert in Norfolk, Virginia. The affected shows include this evening's performance in Charlotte, North Carolina, and tomorrow's set at the 311 Pow Wow Festival at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida.

At present, Barrett is expected to rest in the hospital for the next couple of days after treatment "following a procedure for an abscess from complication from surgery in June from an acute appendectomy."
