Coronavirus & Events Updates: As concerns surrounding the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) continue, so do cancellations and postponements. In addition to yesterday's (CAT 3/11) announcements, the following have been postponed or cancelled:

Live Nation,AEG, CAA, WME, Paradigm and UTA have agreed of on the postponement of large Live Nation shows domestically and internationally. "At this time, we collectively recommend large scale events through the end of March be postponed," a statement reads. "We continue to support that small-scale events follow guidance set by their local government officials. We feel fortunate to have the flexibility to reschedule concerts, festivals and live events as needed and look forward to connecting fans with all their favorite artists and live entertainment soon."

Warner/WAR's Dan + Shay have postponed The (Arena) Tour, with rescheduled dates already available here. "These shows mean the world to us, and it was important that they be postponed and not canceled, but more than the shows, our fans mean the world to us and protecting their safety is the number one priority," the duo's Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney say in a statement. "We want the shows to be memorable and not experienced with fear."

Blue Chair/Warner/WEA's Kenny Chesney is also rescheduling early dates for his Chillaxification Tour. "You can't take risks without really understanding the consequences," says Chesney. "In times of uncertainty, I won't take chances with those I love. I can't imagine, as much as we love being out there playing for the fans, being able to do that through the worry our nation is experiencing." Dates in April and May are being postponed; see Chesney's website here for updated information as it becomes available. 

Warner/WMN's Blake Shelton is also postponing the final week of his Friends And Heroes Tour, beginning with tonight's show. "Omaha, I'm here in your city with my friends and heroes and am ready to play a show for you, but for all the right reasons – chiefly everyone's safety and well-being – we have to reschedule tonight and the rest of the tour," says Shelton. Previously purchased tickets for the five remaining dates will be honored at the TBD rescheduled dates in spring 2021. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase.

Mercury's Chris Stapleton has announced postponements effective with tonight's All-American Road Show stop in Austin, TX. "The health and well-being of our families and communities is our number one priority," notes Stapleton. "With that in mind, we must reschedule [March] shows...Please know these decisions are not made lightly, and we are working diligently to find new dates for these shows." Information on rescheduled dates will be announced when available.
