The Throwdowns open for Sammy Hagar afterall

In an off-again, on-again move, Maui’s The Throwdowns have once again been confirmed as the opening act for Sammy Hagar’s April 9 concert at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, according to the band’s Erin Smith.

The Throwdowns had been booked for the show but earlier this week, word came down that Hagar was not going to feature any opening acts at his Hawaii concerts.

There was no official reason given for the change. However we delude ourselves into thinking it was done strictly so we’d have fodder for this blog.

As previously reported, The Throwdowns also are opening for 311 in Maui on April 10. That show, originally booked at the Lahaina Civic Center, is scheduled to take place on the events lawn at the MACC.
