Ironically, 'twas not Covid that killed Bonnaroo this year:
We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that we must cancel Bonnaroo. While this weekend’s weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo is waterlogged in many areas, the ground is incredibly saturated on our tollbooth paths, and the campgrounds are flooded to the point that...— Bonnaroo (@Bonnaroo) August 31, 2021

Caskets are not autographed. Picture is of Gene Simmons autographing our prototype.

If you should happen to feel like you have a little too much faith in humanity today, I suggest you take a quick stroll through the responses in that Bonnaroo tweet thread to have them knocked back down to reasonable levels.

They should go camp out in that sloppy flooded mudfield in protest.

A lotta people not understanding that you can be mad about something and not go on Twitter about it.

Meanwhile in Nebraska, rain just means they're just moving indoors:
A Christian rock show tonight and a country rock show tomorrow will be moved indoors at the State Fair in Grand Island with no masks or vaccines required.The Covid vaccination rate in Hall County is under 42%, and the rates of surrounding counties are even lower. This is nuts. https://t.co/371bt1a3oY— Ted Genoways (@TedGenoways) September 1, 2021

Sometimes I wonder if it's less COVID fatigue than it is just like living fatigue

Not able to confirm that this is COVID related, to be transparent, but not great news.

Just noticed today that Dinosaur Jr are no longer on the Riot Fest line up, and their home page tour section has many dates listed as postponed. Bummer. I feel bad for Ryley Walker, as that would have been an excellent bill. I wasn't ready for indoor shows yet, and didn't get tix for their separate Chicago show.

Just whiplash to see these cancellations coming in between new tour announcements (Mastodon/Opeth tour for one).

That's not due to covid though. Patton is struggling with mental health issues.

thanks for that, sorry. i hadn't seen Patton's separate release and the first tweet linking the FNM announcement said it was from COVID and i jumped the gun.

accidentally posted this in the wrong thread:
Dead and Company cancelled their two Florida shows coming up next month. Official reasoning being "routing and production logistics", but I won't be surprised to lean that is has more to do with DeSantis and his anti-vaccine proof stance. They've been pretty big on proof of vaccine requirements at their shows and vocally concerned about Delta. Considering they are still managing the "routing and production logistics" are still getting them through North Carolina and Georgia, it's hard not to read between the lines about why only the Florida shows got scratched.

Judas Priest cancelled rest of US tour, though NOT due to COVID, but due to Richie Faulkner's ticker problems (he's my age!!! ;_;)

This was the thread I was actually looking for, but as mentioned in the other thread, Sturgill Simpson cancelled a bunch of shows (including his Webster Hall residency) due to ongoing vocal issues. He had COVID last year so maybe it's long-term effects?
