Boy & Bear say they have had to make the hard decision to pull the plug on the large majority of shows they had planned in 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Taking to social media, the band said, “Covid-19 and the surrounding uncertainty and restrictions have created significant challenges in relation to our ability to deliver the tour we intended for 2020, even with indications of a return to large gatherings seeming more possible.”
They then outlined that, while the majority of dates have been cancelled, they “can still proceed with the shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, as we are confident that we can deliver those shows at a level that you deserve.”
This means that the shows in Margaret River, Cairns, Mackay, Airlie Beach, Townsville, Wodonga, Adelaide, Birtinya, Canberra, Wollongong and Kingscliff have unfortunately been cancelled. Those who had tickets to these shows have been instructed to expect an email from their point of purchase over the coming days, or they can contact them directly.
This isn’t the first change the 2020 ‘Suck On Light’ tour has had to make, after the tour was rescheduled from the original dates in March as COVID-19 began to spread.
