According to Rolling Stone, Live Nation and AEG are telling artists to stop touring until at least April due to the coronavirus pandemic. The companies issued a joint statement along with executives from Creative Artists Agency, William Morris Endeavor, Paradigm and United Talent Agency:
“The world’s leading forces in live entertainment have come together to form a global task force to drive strategic support and unified direction ensuring precautionary efforts and ongoing protocol are in the best interest of artists, fans, staff, and the global community. At this time, we collectively recommend large scale events through the end of March be postponed. We continue to support that small-scale events follow guidance set by their local government officials. We feel fortunate to have the flexibility to reschedule concerts, festivals, and live events as needed, and look forward to connecting fans with all their favorite artists and live entertainment soon.”
