With measures trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus, tours/festivals through spring (and a few beyond) are being postponed/canceled left and right and some have now been rescheduled. Head here for more COVID-19 related news and check the Tour Dates category every day for more tour-related news.

THE CULT

The Cult’s spring U.S. tour in celebration of their album Sonic Temple is being rescheduled for the fall, including dates in San Diego, Albuquerque, Biloxi and Florida. Dates for Philly, Norfolk and New Hampshire are still TBD. Dates are here.

OSHEAGA

On Friday (4/10) the Quebec government asked for the cancellation of all sporting and cultural events until Aug. 31. Montreal’s Osheaga festival will not be happening on it’s originally announced dates of July 31 – August 2, but festival organizers have not decided what will happen. “We are truly saddened by this situation, but everyone’s health must remain our top priority. It is too early to specifically announce the status of each of our events. We want to take the time to properly think about each of them and evaluate our options. Of course, we will do everything we can in order to minimize the impacts of this decision on all parties involved, by trying to postpone events, when possible.”

THE DEARS

Montreal greats The Dears are gearing up to release their new album, Lovers Rock, on May 15 and they were going to tour around then as well but dates have been rescheduled. Their pcoming European tour, originally slated for April, will now take place in November, while U.S. West Coast dates have been rescheduled for August.
