Under normal circumstances, Friday’s aren’t limited to album release dates in the music industry; they’re also the general industry standard for public onsale dates for tours. In a bid to keep you up to date amid the never-ending news crush, you can see an assortment of some of the bigger tours and shows that went on sale to the general public this week.
With live music events as we knew them seemingly being out of the question for the rest of the year at least, there’s also been the sad realization that shows could be drastically different for some time to come.
Tickets for this weeks newly announced treks can be found via artist websites and the usual outlets. Should you be unsuccessful that way, you can also try your hand at the secondary market.
