Best Coast were to have started their Finally Tomorrow tour with Rosie Tucker on January 11, but they've now canceled it outright. "It was an incredibly difficult decision to make, but one that we ultimately felt was right," the band write. "The last two years have been so difficult for us as a band (and the entire world) - and we appreciate your support through it all." Bethany adds, "At this time, we are not rescheduling any of these dates, as the rollercoaster of the reschedule-announcement-cancelation cycle we’ve been stuck in is incredibly exhausting (for you too I’m sure!) and we just need a moment to decompress."

JEFF ROSENSTOCK
Because of the Omicron surge, Jeff Rosenstock has postponed his scheduled January dates. "ANNOYING NEWS: WE ARE POSTPONING OUR JANUARY DATES," he writes. "Hopefully you saw this coming. Pandemic goin bananas. We're working hard to move everything to June & keep the same lineup. If you bought tickets they'll be good for the new dates. If you need refund the venue will refund you. We love y'all and don't want to put any of you in a situation that feels unsafe/weird/bad, we don't want to fly out to our shows in the Midwest and go "oops one of us obviously got covid" and then fly home, there's many reasons I hope you understand. WE'RE GONNA DO OUR BEST TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW ***POTENTIALLY EXPANDED!!!** TOUR DATES NEXT WEEK."
