Postponed 2020 Tours Amid Coronavirus: Billie Eilish, Tool + More

Coronavirus pre-cautions got very real as of March 12, 2020. With current travel bans from Europe, and large venues closing their doors to avoid large gatherings of crowds, the music world has been impacted in a huge way.

Almost every tour for March and most of April has been postponed, and even giant spring festivals like Coachella and Ultra have decided to close up shop for the time being. The good news is that most of these concerts, tours, and festivals will still happen once the COVID-19 settles down! Some events already have new dates scheduled. And we'll all be a little bit safer from contracting the virus during these unprecedented times. So take care of yourselves!

Realizing that it's been insanely difficult to keep up with all the postponements and rescheduling, we're rounding up all the upcoming tours that have cancelled, and we'll be updating this list as more pour in.
