On March 9, Bob Dylan announced a North American tour scheduled to take place in June and July. Now, Dylan has canceled the extensive trek due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. “In the interest of public health and safety and after many attempts to try and reschedule these shows for a workable timeframe this year, it is with deep regret that we announce the U.S. Bob Dylan shows originally scheduled for June/July are cancelled,” a statement reads.

Dylan is the latest in a string of artists to alter their tour plans following the coronavirus outbreak. Green Day, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Bikini Kill, Pixies, Iggy Pop, and countless others have either postponed or outright canceled their tours in recent weeks.
