“As announced yesterday, our show in San Francisco was postponed due to illness within the touring party,” read a statement by the band on their social media, following the postponed show in San Francisco. “After much deliberation, in the interest of our health and ability to put on a show you all deserve, we have decided to reschedule our shows this week in Seattle, Portland, and Salt Lake City.”
In another statement, following Paramore’s last-minute postponement in San Francsico, the band apologized to ticket holders. “We tried everything in our ability to put on the show last night,” said the band. “We know that some of you waited in line for hours, traveled far distances, and moved around plans to be there. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused.”
The band added, “To everyone affected by these postponements, please know that we do not take postponing a show lightly. The last thing we want to do is postpone a show that we’ve all been looking forward to for months. We love you, we are sorry, and we hope to see you soon.”
After the band’s remaining July and August dates, Paramore is scheduled to kick off an international tour in New Zealand on Nov. 18. The tour will run through dates in Australia and Europe and continue on into next before concluding with three shows at Wembley Stadium in August of 2024.
