The Black Keys’ forthcoming Let’s Rock Tour is the latest summer trek to be called-off amid coronavirus concerns.
The tour was slated to kick-off on July 7 in Seattle, Washington, followed by gigs in cities like Salt Lake City, Dallas, Austin, Chicago, and Syracuse. They were set to stop in amphitheaters and outdoor venues like Hartford’s XFINITY Theatre, the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, and Charlotte’s PNC Music Pavilion before wrapping-up in Jacksonville, Florida at Daily’s Place early September.
However, the band took to Twitter Tuesday morning to break the news.
“We are very disappointed to let you know the U.S. Let’s Rock Summer tour is no longer happening,” the band said in a statement. “We were looking forward to seeing you all out there, but the health and safety of our fans and crew has to take priority. We hope to see you all soon. Please stay safe!”
The band would have been touring in support of their ninth studio album Let’s Rock. The LP, which dropped in June 2019, was their first record in five years following 2014’s Turn Blue and features the smash-hit single “Lo/Hi.”
Ticketholders will be contacted directly via Live Nation for information regarding refunds. Others should seek refunds via point of purchase.
