Live Nation Reportedly Plans to Pause All Tours Over Coronavirus Concerns

As the number of cancellations on account of the COVID-19 coronavirus continue to mount, Live Nation Entertainment and AEG will postpone all of their large-scale tours. Billie Eilish, Cher, and Post Malone are among the artists whose tours will likely be affected. Previously, acts like Pearl Jam, Madonna, and My Chemical Romance announced postponements.

Billboard reports that Live Nation informed its employees of the decision on Thursday, instructing acts currently on tour to get ready to return home. The move will impact all tours operated by the company, including those domestically and internationally. A select number of shows scheduled for Thursday and Friday will still go ahead, but starting this weekend all shows will be postponed until at least the end of March.

Additionally, the company has told all employees to work remotely for the rest of the month, and its Beverly Hills headquarters will be "mostly closed." One executive told employees that March is typically one of the slower months of the year for Live Nation, and the situation will be re-evaluated at the start of April. The current plan is to resume touring by May or June. As of right now, no layoffs are planned.
