Zac Brown Band Postpones Spring Tour Due To Coronavirus Concerns

Zac Brown Band has become the latest group to postpone shows due to the rising number of cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) cropping up across the country. The group is postponing the Spring leg of its The Owl Tour, including the Spring tour’s concluding date on April 25 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

The tour was set to begin Feb. 28 at TaxSlayer Center in Moline, Illinois, and was to promote their latest album, The Owl, which released Sept. 20, 2019.

The band issued a statement on Twitter on March 10, stating:

“Out of caution and due to increasing public health concerns, Zac Brown Band is postponing the spring 2020 leg of “The Owl Tour.” This was an extremely difficult decision, but the well-being of our fans is always our top priority. Rescheduled dates for all spring shows (through Nashville on April 25) will be announced soon. We ask that our fans retain their tickets as they will be honored on the new dates. At this time, our “Roar With The Lions” Summer 2020 tour dates (commencing in May) will be performed as planned. Thank you for understanding.”

According to Johns Hopkins University and Medicine, as of March 10, 2020, there were 959 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the United States, and 28 deaths from the virus.
