The Shires have become the latest group to reschedule their tour dates amid COVID-19, pushing theirs back until October-December. Tickets are available here.
Initially, the duo – made up of Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes – were set to tour extensively between April and June with Eric Paslay as their support act, but the pandemic has forced them to push the tour back.
All tickets remain valid for the rescheduled dates and speaking in a statement on their social media, the duo explained their reasons and apologised for rescheduling, but stressed that health and safety comes first and foremost.
“Sadly, due to the current situation our tour dates have been re-scheduled for later this year,” the duo said in a statement. “We’re so sorry to disappoint anyone, but we must put everyone’s safety first.”
