BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Birmingham’s Steel City Jazz Festival has been canceled this year, but organizers say the event will be back in 2019.
The festival, set for June 1-2, had planned to change its location in 2018, moving from Linn Park to Legion Field. According to a press release from founder Cedric Allen, the festival’s fans didn’t like the change.

Lineups have included Will Downing, Alex Bugnon, David Sanborn, Ben Tankard, Lalah Hathaway, Marion Meadows, Boney James, Kirk Whalum, Jessy J, Rick Braun, the O’Jays and more.
