BEST COAST
Best Coast had rescheduled their North American tour for September and October, but now those date have been canceled. "With all of the current uncertainty surrounding the evolving Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we’ve decided it is best to cancel our September / October “rescheduled” tour dates. I struggle everyday with anxiety surrounding what’s going on in the world - and it just doesn’t feel right to do this with such a lack of clarity swirling in the air. Not to mention, we have no idea if it will even be possible. We look forward to getting back out there as soon as there are guidelines and it’s safe to tour again. I miss you all very much and hope you are taking good care of yourselves. Thank you for understanding. We will see you on the other side of this 💜."
