What many U.S. fans have feared in the last few weeks has unfortunately become true. Simple Plan and New Found Glory, who were supposed to finally head out on a co-headlining ‘Pop-Punk’s Still Not Dead’ tour in the United States this summer, have now announced that due to COVID-19, the bands are forced to postpone the tour indefinitely.
But rest assured – this tour WILL happen. Just gotta wait a little longer until things go back to normal again.
You can read the full statement below:
Because of the extraordinary situation created by the Covid-19 pandemic and based on the current information we have, it has become abundantly clear that playing these shows will simply not be possible, no matter how badly we want them to happen.
Please rest assured that this tour WILL take place and that we are working very hard on multiple scenarios to reschedule the dates, in collaboration with NFG’s team and all the promoters. As of right now, and because of the changing nature of the situation, we don’t know exactly when the tour will be able to take place, but please know that both bands are deeply committed to playing these shows for you, as soon as it is considered safe to do so.
We know this really sucks and we are so bummed to have to do this, but your health and safety has always been our number one priority and we truly have no choice.
We promise to keep you updated as soon as we have any new information.
Please take care of yourselves, stay safe and stay home so we can beat this virus and get back to doing all the things we love the most.”
