Alabama's June Jam concert canceled for 2025
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Organizers of Alabama's June Jam concert announced Tuesday that the event will be taking a year off.
Several reasonings factored into the decision including the economy in the Fort Payne region, availability of guest talent and the moving of Rock the South to June. The fan appreciation weekend will still continue from June 26-28.
