cancellations

”Due to the ever-evolving nature of the Covid-19 pandemic, it's become harder and harder for us to put together the type of festival experience that you deserve,” organizers write.

”It is with deep regret that we have to postpone the rest of our US Tour – Richie has major medical heart condition issues which have landed him in hospital where he is being treated,” the band says.

”Much like last year, 2021 (in the most consensual way possible) can ALSO go fornicate with itself,” Sturgill writes.

”I have issues that were exacerbated by the pandemic that are challenging me right now,” Mike Patton writes in a statement.

”I had eagerly anticipated the mutual catharsis of these live performances but the risks outweigh the rewards at this particular place in time,” Greg writes.

”We’ve been out in this world trying to be as cautious as possible, as cautious as I’ve been in 18 months, and we still had to cancel 5 shows,” AC Newman writes.

”
We have done everything in our power to try to keep the show moving forward, but Mother Nature has dealt us a tremendous amount of rain over the past 24 hours, and we have run out of options to try to make the event happen safely and in a way that lives up to the Bonnaroo experience”…

Stanley, like the rest of the band, is fully vaccinated, and said that he ”had been sick with flu-like symptoms” before testing positive for COVID.

”This was not an easy conclusion to come to, but ultimately one done out of caution to prioritize the safety of our beloved artists, team and you — our cherished audience,” organizers write.

”By putting the health of the community first NOW, we believe we are doing the right thing to preserve the FUTURE and ensure that this surge is the last,” organizers write.
