According to WVLT, Garth Brooks has cancelled the remaining shows of his Stadium Tour due to the recent spike in COVID-19, including the Delta variant, officials with the country star announced Wednesday. Over 300,000 would-be concert-goers will receive refunds for the tickets, which were for five more shows, including Nashville’s show.

Garth Brooks said in a statement, “In July, I sincerely thought the pandemic was falling behind us. Now, watching this new wave, I realize we are still in the fight and I must do my part. I have asked the wonderful cities of Cincinnati and Charlotte to wait too long and I don’t want to now do that same thing to the great folks in Boston and Baltimore. As far as Nashville, we are looking for a make up date from the July rain out and though this is not COVID related, to make them wait makes me sad, as well. So, it is with a heavy heart we announce the decision to cancel all 5 shows but with a hopeful heart, we will reschedule and start over when this wave seems to be behind us,”

Tour spokespersons said they are monitoring conditions and hope to continue the tour at a later date. Those who have tickets for a concert do not need to do anything, officials said. Ticketmaster will be issuing automatic refunds.
