Phoebe Bridgers moves all indoor shows to outdoor venues on US tour “in the interest of safety”
Phoebe Bridgers has announced that all outdoor shows on her upcoming US tour will now take place inside “in the interest of safety”.
The news comes as coronavirus cases continue to rise in the US. The seven-day average on new cases in the country through August 22 is 149,675.
“Let’s try this again…” the musician tweeted earlier today (August 23), sharing an amended poster for the ‘Reunion Tour’.
“In the interest of safety, I’ve decided to only play outdoors for the upcoming tour. We are moving all previously scheduled indoor shows to outdoor venues and we’ve needed to postpone shows in a couple cities so please check the updated schedule.”

Bridgers has also announced that all shows will require proof of vaccination against COVID-19. “Where that’s not permissible by law, we’ll agree to proof of vaccination OR proof of negative test result (PCR preferred/Antigen accepted) within 48 hours prior to entering those venues,” she added.
“And please wear a mask. I love you. See you soon.”

The musician also appears on Lorde’s new album ‘Solar Power’, singing on tracks including the title track and ‘Stoned At The Nail Salon’. Bridgers described the experience as “magical”, despite never having met the Kiwi singer in person.
