Concert Canceled

A Christian pop-rock concert scheduled for the 2,500-seat Freedman Forum in Anaheim tonight has been canceled because of sluggish ticket sales, concert promoter Joe Pastorelli said Friday.

The five-act show featuring the Christian rock band Out of the Grey was planned as a fund-raiser to benefit programs for abused women and children under Newport Beach-based Mariners Church’s Lighthouse Ministry. Refunds for advance ticket sales are available at point of purchase, Pastorelli said.
