LIVE NATION CANADA – PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the unprecedented circumstances surrounding COVID-19, James Taylor & His All-Star Band with special guest Bonnie Raitt and her band have announced their Canadian Tour is being postponed. The tour will be rescheduled, and previously purchased tickets will be honored for all dates.
James Taylor shared, “I’ve had so many messages urging me to announce a decision regarding our upcoming Canadian tour. We were so looking forward to the tour, it breaks my heart to call it off. But that’s what we must do. All the medical information suggests that small and large gatherings may well put people at risk. That is the last thing we would ever want to do. I hope we can reschedule for the not-too-distant future.”
Fans are encouraged to hold on to their tickets until new dates are announced. Previously purchased tickets will be honoured on the new dates. Fans with questions regarding refunds are asked to reach out to their point of purchase.
More information will be released as it is available.
COVID-19 Statement
Mar 15, 2020James here. I’ve had so many messages urging me to announce a decision regarding our upcoming Canadian tour. We were so looking forward to the tour, it breaks my heart to call it off. But that’s what we must do. All the medical information suggests that small and large gatherings may well put people at risk. That is the last thing we would ever want to do. I hope we can reschedule for the not-too-distant future. We will have an announcement tomorrow about how you can obtain a refund if you purchased a ticket to one of our Canadian concerts.
