UPDATE 6:45PM: Live Nation, the company behind Joey's show and others at Irving Plaza and Gramercy Theatre lined up for Govenors Ball's "After Dark" event series, has canceled or postponed all shows in the series. This includes Mac Miller's performance scheduled for Friday, June 3 at Irving Plaza. YG (Gramercy) and Vince Staples' (Irving Plaza) shows have also been canceled, though those two weren't included in the "After Dark" series.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, a spokesperson for Irving Plaza and Gramercy explained the decision was directly correlated to the Irving Plaza shooting that took place last Wednesday. "In light of last week's tragic event, we are acting with an overabundance of caution and coordinating a going forward strategy with the New York Police Department that may also include a curfew. Because these discussions with New York Police Department are ongoing, we will be postponing a few of our upcoming shows."

All this sounds like is the Venues are making demands for extra security measures i.e. Metal Detectors, more man power and possibly off duty Police personnel, just in case shyt does pop off they are probably telling live nation you will incur the loss of a lawsuit. If you want your acts to perform here these are our stipulations and we will not budge. The Troy shooting is going to cost irving plaza owners some funds.

Live Nation was probably getting a great deal, since they are pretty much it for rap acts. But the price has been upped.

How do nikkas get inside a new york club/concert with guns in 2016
I was going to say back/side entrance but NY doesn't really have alleys so there's probably only the front area entrance. Rappers and their entourages don't get searched sometimes I suppose or maybe the right person new security.
