We've got some sad news for you, Boston country fans. Dierks Bentley has canceled two shows, including the one originally scheduled for this Saturday at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA.
The country star made the announcement on social media Wednesday, noting that “Keeping our band, crew, and fans healthy and safe has to remain our #1 priority.”
“Unfortunately, we have to extend our break from the road a few more days and won’t be able to play Jones Beach (9/24) or Boston (9/25) this weekend. Keeping our band, crew, and fans healthy and safe has to remain our #1 priority. Refund information below for these shows. Y’all stay safe, and we’ll see you in Detroit on October 7!”
According to Bentley's Twitter post, refunds will be processed within 30 days to original purchaser and method of payment used at time of purchase. No action is required from the customer.
The show will not be re-scheduled, according to Live Nation.
Earlier this week, Bentley announced the cancellation of a tour stop in Columbia, Maryland, citing that a member of his crew tested positive for COVID-19. “Even though we are a fully vaccinated tour, we had a positive test in the touring party. In order to keep the band, crew, and our families safe, we are following a strict testing protocol and won’t be cleared back on the road until Friday,” he said.
