Loverboy cancels Sonoma-Marin Fair concert, replaced by ASIA featuring John Payne

Another ‘80s band has stepped up to take Loverboy’s place after illness forced the cancellation of the group’s Friday night show.|

The planned Friday night music headliner for the Sonoma-Marin Fair, Loverboy, planned for June 23, has canceled due to a band member’s illness, fair officials announced Friday. Taking their place is another ‘80s band, ASIA featuring John Payne, who will perform at 8 p.m.

Loverboy did not provide details of the illness or which band member was affected, according to fair spokeswoman Christy Gentry. She said ticketholders should have no issue attending Friday with the changed music lineup or on an alternate day this weekend, as tickets purchased for the fair cover all events and are transferable between days. Those requesting a refund will be handled on a case by case basis, Gentry said.
