Eric Paslay, Abby Anderson, and Tenille Townes are offering up a live stream Wednesday (March 18) on Facebook of their Introducing Nashville set that was supposed to happen during the C2C Festival. The festival was postponed on March 12, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting international travel policies, and other restrictions as reasons to delay the festival.

The three songwriters wanted to give back to fans in London, Dublin and Glasgow, so beginning at 8 p.m. GMT, they will do a virtual writers round from their respective living rooms in Nashville. Each of the artist’s Facebook pages will crosspost the event, as will CMT and CMA.

The annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, held in Manchester, Tennessee, has been rescheduled for Sept. 24-27.

All current tickets and onsite accommodations (camping, tent rentals, RV, etc.) will be honored for the new weekend. Fans with off-site accommodations and shuttles purchased through the festival will be contacted directly with updates.

“Please continue to radiate positivity through this uncharted time in our world. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on The Farm this fall,” the festival’s organizers said in a statement.

The festival was originally slated to be held June 11-14, with a lineup including Tool, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Lana Del Ray, Tame Impala, and more.

CCM artist Sandi Patty has revealed she has tested positive for the COVID-19 novel coronavirus and is self quarantining for the next two weeks.

The gospel star apparently hadn’t been feeling well for a couple of weeks and received the positive test confirming the diagnosis yesterday (March 17). She and her husband are quarantining at their home in Oklahoma City and in a message on her Facebook page she urged everyone to take coronavirus prevention safety measures seriously to help prevent further spread of the virus. She also gave thanks that her home church was providing services online to help continue community worship during this challenging time.

The gospel star communicated on Facebook with an update: “Today I received confirmation that I tested positive for COVID19. I am at home and Don and I are under quarantine for the next 14 days. I’m so impressed with how our Health Department handled my case and grateful for their attentiveness. They are working so hard right now to keep us all safe. WE MUST DO OUR PART. This is not fake news. If you are not already practicing social distancing and STAYING HOME, DO SO NOW! This is what we can all do. This is how we stop the spread. God has given us faith, but he’s also given us wisdom. He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and of a sound mind. I will keep you posted as I can. (Oh! And cough in your elbow, not your hand.)”

Patty has earned five Grammy awards and numerous GMA Dove Awards since she released her first albums in the late 1970s. She is best known for the CCM hits including “Majesty,” “How Majestic Is Your Name,” and “We Shall Behold Him.”

The Glastonbury festival, which was celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Somerset, England festival confirmed on Twitter that the June 24-28 event featuring headliners Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar has been canceled in the wake of new government measures announced this week in the UK.

The festival had just announced its third and final star Kendrick Lamar as the Friday night headliner last week and announced 90 additional acts last Thursday (March 12) before the decision to cancel came this week.

“We were so looking forward to welcoming you all for our 50th anniversary with a lineup full of fantastic artists and performers that we were incredibly proud to have booked. Again, we’re so sorry that this decision has been made. It was not through choice,” said the festival’s Michael and Emily Eavis in a statement.

Ticket holders will have the chance to roll their deposit over to next year, and guarantee the opportunity to buy a ticket for Glastonbury 2021, or apply for a refund. Further information on coach packages, official accommodation bookings and other tickets will be added to the festival’s website in the next few days.

Brad Paisley, John Rich and Dierks Bentley are a few artists who are helping Nashville’s community as many bars and restaurants in Nashville have either temporarily closed or limited patrons, and many in the Middle Tennessee area have opted to stay home as the COVID-19 novel coronavirus continues to spread.

On March 17, Paisley announced that The Store Nashville, a year-round free grocery store, will begin mobilizing delivery of a week’s worth of groceries to elderly neighbors in Nashville-area neighborhoods Edgehill and Berry Hill. Deliveries will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays; those interested in being included on the list should contact info@thestore.org. The elderly are among those with the highest risk of infection from the COVID-19 novel coronavirus.

The Store will operate during regular hours from 1 p.m.-7 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, and from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturdays for walk in customers. Walk-in customers should bring an ID and either proof of income, proof of residence, or statement of unemployment. The Store broke ground in April 2019, and is a partnership between Brad and Kimberly Paisley, Paisley’s alma mater Belmont University, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.

As Nashville Mayor John Cooper recommended that bars on Nashville’s Lower Broadway close temporarily, and that restaurants limit capacity to under 50%, Bentley and Rich have both come to the aid of employees at their Nashville venues. Bentley announced that he will be gifting each of his 90 hourly employees at Whiskey Row Nashville $1000 each to help in the short-term as the venue closes down. News Channel 5 reported that Rich’s Redneck Riviera will continue paying staff and bartenders during the shutdown.
