Live Nation and AEG, North America’s largest concert promoters, are halting all tours in the U.S. and abroad until April and asking artists to come home amid coronavirus fears.

I wonder if GNR will cancel all of their Latin American concerts.

I think most of them have already been cancelled haven't they?

I dunno.  Looks like the dominos are quickly falling.

Probably. I can't see them pushing through any concerts in April either.

The only ones that HAVEN'T been cancelled so far are Mexico, Guatemala, and the Domincan Republic I believe.

Here's a couple of confirmations- the rest are all out there too.

Given that Europe expect the problems to peak in May/June, I think the Europe leg looks unlikely too.

Good, no more worrying about it, the band is coming home.  It's the highest authority in these situations that should be making the call, glad Live Nation stepped up. 

Sorry GNR, was looking forward to it.

Is the Mexico show still on?

I think we should probably just assume everything is postponed until summer at least.

Who has said that Europe expects the peak of the problems in June?

Pretty much everyone. That seems to be commonly regarded as when it will be at it's worse....but who knows?

There's similar reports to the one linked below, all citing May or June as the peak.

I think we'll flatten out quicker than that.  We'll see.

I think it will peak in May in the USA, closed schools, no church services.  Everyone stay safe and God bless.

Hopefully, the president said today it could extend into July/August or later, but i take anything he says with a pinch of salt. If Dr. Fauci says the same then i'll take it much more seriously. Hopefully that is worst case scenario.
