The band was scheduled to perform this Saturday, August 31 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, but due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Dorian on the Florida coast, they’ve taken the unusual move of moving the show up.

Mick Jagger and company will now take the stage Friday night, August 30. Tickets will be honored for the new date. There’s no opening act, and the band goes on at 8:30 p.m. ET.

This is the second time the concert has been moved. Initially scheduled for April, it was moved to August when Jagger had to undergo heart surgery. 

This is also the second time this year that weather has forced the Stones to rescheduled. Last month, the band delayed their show in New Orleans by a day due to Tropical Storm Barry.

The Miami show is the final show of 2019 for the band. The tour resumes in May of 2020.

While some fans are happy about the change, many are upset because they can’t change their plans — especially those coming from overseas. Some have tried to get refunds and have so far been unsuccessful.  One tweeted, “Full refund if people can’t make it. This is BS moving it up like this.”

Another fan suggested, “How about a free webcast for those that can’t change plans?”
