The New York Parks Department cut short the White Stripe’s open air gig yesterday because it was too noisy. 6000 people witnessed the gig, part of the Nissan Z Tour which stages unannounced tours in unexpected places. But the local Parks Department felt the performance was too noisy and shut the 60 minute set down after 40 minutes.
Train, Eve, Pink, Dashboard Confessional, and Enrique Iglesias have all performed gigs as part of the Nissan Z Tour, and word is the Counting Crows will play a set at in the Battery Park area of New York at midday on Thursday, unless they get too noisy of course.
