When an artist and concert promoter execute a contract for the artist to perform, both parties obviously have an obligation to perform their duties under the contract. Although the artist's main duty is to perform, sometimes artists cancel concerts, often for valid reasons (e.g., illness, pandemic) but sometimes for more dubious reasons. In the Michael Bolton situation, it seems that Bolton's reason for cancelling the concert dates may have been fear of lower ticket sales than he was accustomed to. What is one provision that a lawyer for a concert promoter might include in a contract to deal with artist cancellations if they do occur? https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/982/950/1527955/
