Steely Dan have decided to postpone the opening shows of their Absolutely Normal Tour, out of “an abundance of caution” in the face of the ongoing risks from COVID-19. Performances in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia are impacted by the decision.
“The postponement comes out of an abundance of caution despite COVID-19 health precautions in place,” reads the announcement from the band, which will now open its tour in late October. The news comes a week before the tour was set to open with four shows in five nights at The Fillmore Miami Beach in Florida on October 5, 6, 8, and 9.
Tickets for the impacted performances will be honored on the new 2022 dates on the schedule, joining existing dates that were already planned.
Steely Dan Postponed Shows and New Dates:
Landmark Theater (Richmond, Virginia) – July 15, 2022.
Ovens Auditorium (Charlotte, North Carolina) – July 16, 2022.
