Title: Opening band?

Hi

Saw MMJ at Bonnaroo and also had tickets for Vegas.
Now that Vegas is cancelled we're heading to Portland OR. for
the Sept. show.

The tickets say the show starts at 6:30pm  - is someone touring
with MMJ?

Hello! There is NO opening band. The show starts early due to the Edgefield having a 10 pm curfew.  I would leave early...traffic can get a little backed up with only 1 road into the venue off the highway.  

Hopefully you will have some time to chill in our fair city!

Cheers!

Wow! Didn't know about a curfew. Glad I asked.
Thanks Wizzard.

My wife and I are really looking forward to Portland.
When Vegas got cancelled (we live in vegas) we looked at the
schedule and thought Portland would be the perfect city to see MMJ.
We were last there for the Tournament of the Americas in 1992.

Thanks again.

We are coming from Calgary for the Port/Seattle shows. Just heard there is an opener added to the Portland show.
Is that curfew for the venue or the town?

Yes, an opener was added for the Portland show.  I can't remember the name, but it's a male who is a quadriplegic, I believe.
