Wilco reverses decision to cancel Indiana concert

Chicago-based rock band Wilco says it’s going ahead with a May concert in Indianapolis now that Indiana lawmakers have tweaked a state law to address concerns that it would allow discrimination against gays and lesbians.

The band said on Friday in a Facebook message that it’s reversed its decision to cancel the May 7 show because lawmakers approved changes on Thursday to the religious objections law that added the first references to sexual orientation and gender identity to Indiana law.

Wilco says it considers those changes “a good first step toward creating the sort of welcoming environment we encourage everywhere.”
