The Afghan Whigs cancel Brooklyn show after bandmember tests positive for Covid

The Afghan Whigs were scheduled to wrap up their spring tour with an NYC show at Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight (5/25), but it’s now been cancelled after a band member tested positive for Covid. “TONIGHT’S SHOW IS CANCELLED,” a statement from the band reads. “Due to a member of our band testing positive for Covid this morning, we sadly have to cancel tonight’s show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. All tickets for this show will now be valid for our upcoming show at Brooklyn Steel on September 15th. If you cannot attend that show, you may request a refund at your point of purchase. We’re very sorry not to be seeing you all this evening, but look forward to seeing you in the fall.”

Tickets to the Brooklyn Steel show on September 15, which is part of their fall tour, are on sale now. See all of their upcoming dates below.

The Afghan Whigs’ first album in five years, How Do You Burn?, is also out in September.
