Tim McGraw has postponed his annual Swampstock charity concert--which was to take place Sunday (9/19) in Rayville, LA--due to the approach of Hurricane Ivan. No make-up date will be considered until after the storm passes, according to a press release.

"I regret that we have to postpone the show this year but it's the right thing to do with the weather that's headed that way," McGraw said in a statement. "My thoughts and prayers are with people of Louisiana as they prepare for the storm."
