A slew of summer tours were officially canceled or postponed this week due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with many of them holding out until the last possible minute to break the news.
Breaking Benjamin's summer tour with support from Bush, Theory Of A Deadman, Cory Marks and Saint Asonia has been canceled. It was scheduled to kick off July 15th in Bristow, Virginia and run through early September.
Breaking Benjamin said in a statement, “If you purchased a ticket or VIP, you will be emailed directly with refund options including a full refund, or you can request a 150% credit at Live Nation venues. They will donate the number of tickets you originally purchased to healthcare workers on the front lines . . . We will be back as soon as it's safe to do so!”
Also falling victim to the pandemic was a planned run starring Incubus, 311 and Badflower, which was slated to begin in mid-July. Nickelback‘s All The Right Reasons 15th anniversary trek with Stone Temple Pilots was also scrapped amid COVID-19 concerns.
Meanwhile, Deftones postponed their summer trek until next year, with dates yet to be determined.
