Pavilion at the Music Factory concerts

5 Irving Music Factory, DFW’s newest music venue, will be hosting concerts from artists ranging from Tom Jones to Harry Styles this fall. However, its big opening weekend — featuring comedian Dave Chappelle and singer Brad Paisley — has been canceled due to construction delays. Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy had already canceled for Sunday, citing weather concerns. Chappelle will return Oct. 26-27. Paisley’s concert was still undecided at press time. Next week’s shows — Lifehouse and Goo Goo Dolls — have been moved. www.thepavilionimf.com
