The National Postpone Australian Tour Scheduled To Start This Weekend

The National have postponed their Australian tour which was scheduled to kick off this weekend.

The US outfit today announced that, due to the coronavirus outbreak, they will return to Australia for the shows in December.

“The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a challenging few weeks for everyone. We have been monitoring the situation daily with our management and promoter partners. We have a responsibility to our dedicated audiences, to our amazing crew, to our families at home, and to ourselves to take precautions in the interest of health and safety," The National said in a statement.

"For this reason we have made the difficult decision to postpone our Australia and New Zealand performances with Phoebe Bridgers until December. 

"We look forward to seeing you all at the end of the year.”
