Rumfelt Concert Postponed Due to Severe Weather Threat

MURPHY, N.C. — The Braden Rumfelt concert originally scheduled for Thursday in Murphy has been postponed because of an approaching threat of severe weather, according to Murphy Mayor Tim Radford.

In a statement released Tuesday, Mayor Radford cited forecasts calling for a 75% chance of rain, with up to a half-inch of precipitation possible along with thunderstorms. Organizers decided to act early given the large crowd expected and the complex logistics involved with the event.

“The forecast is calling for a 75% chance of rain, with up to half an inch possible and thunderstorms also possible,” Radford said. “With the large number of people expected to attend, along with the many logistics and schedules involved, the decision was made early rather than waiting until the last minute.”

A new date for the concert is currently being finalized and will be announced very soon, the mayor added.

“We appreciate everyone’s understanding as plans continue to make this a special event for our community,” Radford said.

The postponement allows organizers to reschedule without risking safety or disappointing fans with last-minute changes. Updates on the new date and any additional details will be shared through official city channels as soon as they are available.
