Dead and Company cancel summer tour due to coronavirus outbreak: 'We will survive'

We will survive.

But we won't be seeing the Dead and Company this summer. The Dead and Company Summer 2020 Tour, which included an Aug. 1 date at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, has been canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak, the band announced on Tuesday, Aug. 21.

"Due to the global coronavirus outbreak, and in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we sadly have no choice but to cancel the upcoming Dead & Company Summer 2020 Tour," said the band on social media on Tuesday.

"The well-being and safety of the Deadhead community, venue workers and our touring family is of the utmost importance to us. We also want to provide you, the fans who’ve been hit hard financially during this difficult time with your money back. All tickets will be fully refunded at point of purchase.

"We are thankful for your love, your understanding and we look forward to the day when we can all be reunited. In the meantime, keep the faith and believe in the power of music.
