This would make a great idea for a romantic comedy. A musician following his love around by booking tour dates in the same venues the day after.

Mike Compton no longer has this date in his calendar: http://mikecompton.net/calendar.php
Could this also be cancelled?

This seems to mean that it has been cancelled: http://djpanagiotis.blogspot.com/2010/0 ... canes.html
This date is also no longer on his official website: http://www.elviscostello.com/#/dance-card

[FAVEHOUR]

One article said it was due to poor ticket sales.

[sulky lad]

Might have been because they were going to pay Elvis in drachmas (now worth about 2 cents for 10,000 drachmas !!)

Karma's a bitch, ... as the saying goes?

Ακύρωση συναυλίας Elvis Costello & the Sugarcanes

Η Big Star Promotion ανακοινώνει ότι η προγραμματισμένη συναυλία του Elvis Costello & the Sugarcanes, για το Σάββατο 3 Ιουλίου 2010, στο Θέατρο του TerraVibe Park, στην Αθήνα, δεν θα πραγματοποιηθεί. Η τρέχουσα δυσμενής οικονομική κατάσταση, που έχει πλήξει τα μεσαία εισοδήματα, είχε ως αποτέλεσμα τη χαμηλή προπώληση εισιτηρίων, καθιστώντας αδύνατη την πραγματοποίηση της παραπάνω συναυλίας.

Όσοι έχουν ήδη αγοράσει εισιτήριο μπορούν να απευθυνθούν στο Ticket House, Πανεπιστημίου 42 (εντός στοάς), για την επιστροφή του αντιτίμου, από την Παρασκευή 11 Ιουνίου 2010.

Οι υπόλοιπες συναυλίες θα πραγματοποιηθούν σύμφωνα με το πρόγραμμα, που έχει ήδη ανακοινωθεί.

Or in "English" via Google Translate:

"Cancel Concert Elvis Costello & The Sugarcanes

The Big Star Promotion announces that the planned concert by Elvis Costello & the Sugarcanes, on Saturday, July 3, 2010, at the Theatre of TerraVibe Park, in Athens, will not take place. The current unfavorable economic situation, which has hit middle-income earners, led to low ticket sales, making it impossible to achieve the above concert.

Those who have already purchased tickets can contact the Ticket House, University 42 (in gallery), for reimbursement from Friday, June 11, 2010.

The remaining concerts will be held in accordance with the program, which has already been announced."
