Just announced this weekend that the concert in Fargo, ND is cancelled. Probably not "their kind" of fans anyway.
They made the Biggest Losers Blog! :D
The Dixie Chicks: Their latest album, "Taking the Long Way," is projected to sell only one-third as many copies as the two the group released before lead singer Natalie Maines' inflammatory 2003 anti-Bush comments at a concert in England. And, they've had to cancel 2006 summer tour dates in Red State locales like Memphis, Oklahoma City and Indianapolis due to poor ticket sales. So really, the last thing Maines and co. need is to remind the iTunes crowd how it all went down. But that's just the ticket, as this week the Toronto International Film Festival announced that it will give the gala premiere treatment to the documentary "Shut Up and Sing," co-directed by Oscar winning Barbara Koepple. If all else fails, these lovely ladies can always take a page from the Garth Brooks play book and re-invent themselves as an Australian folk trio.

Tampa/St.Pete was cancelled too - not their kind of fans here either.
I wonder how the contracts go for booking venues. I would anticipate it costs a bundle to cancel a concert with less than six months notice. Who is on the hook--the label or d' chix?
