The rapidly-circulating coronavirus Covid-19 has been looming large over world economy, and the music industry has not been immune from its impact. Just this Thursday, America’s two largest concert promoters, Live Nation and AEG, cancelled all large tour dates for the remainder of March. This came in the wake of a wave of major festival delays and cancellations, and this trend isn’t likely to end soon, so we will be keeping this list updated as news arrises.
