C2C has been officially postponed until 2021, though Eric Church, Darius Rucker and Luke Combs will still be headlining the showpiece event. On the eve of the festival this year, organisers made the decision to pull the plug following US President Donald Trump announcing his travel ban and had pledged to try and find a rescheduled date in the diary. However,  this hasn’t been able to happen and instead, the organisers have postponed the whole event to 2021, where it will take place between March 12-14. From the outset, it appears that the undercard will be significantly different to the initial line-up, which had the likes of Old Dominion, Brett Young, Tanya Tucker and the Cadillac Three on to begin with, though The Shires filled in for Old Dominion after they dropped out amid coronavirus fears. All purchased tickets will remain valid for the 2021 event as well, though for those looking for a refund, C2C are advising people to go to the ticket outlets that they purchased from. It is also unclear as to what will happen with the pop-up stage artists and how much of the line-up as a whole will remain for 2021, though it is expected that further information regarding this will come out as and when.

Broken Witt Rebels have taken the decision to postpone their March/April UK tour until September this year following the COVID-19 pandemic. Tickets are available here. The group were initially set to tour their new record, ‘OK Hotel’, but this has now had to be put on the back burner as a result of the travel restrictions and government measures. So far, only the England and Wales dates have been successfully rescheduled, though the band are working on getting the Scotland and Ireland dates moved to the same timeframe. All pre-existing bookings will be valid for the rescheduled dates, though there are still some left available for the upcoming shows.

Ward Thomas have become the latest act to postpone their upcoming UK tour, with all dates being pushed back to September. Tickets are available here. The UK twin sister duo, made up of Catherine and Lizzy, were settee embark on a tour in April and May, but the COVID-19 pandemic has led to them rescheduling their dates to a safer time. All tickets bought will still be valid for the rescheduled dates, while there is still limited availability at some of the other gigs that the twins will be playing. Speaking in a statement, Ward Thomas said that while they are sorry that the tour cannot go ahead, they are delighted to have everything intact – venues and support – for the rescheduled dates. “We’re sorry we won’t be seeing you in April/May but can’t wait to see you, with Dan, in September,” the duo said. “Thanks for your patience and please stay safe and well.” Ward Thomas will be playing: September 1 – New Victoria Working Theatre, Woking, England September 2 – Palace Theatre, Southend, England September 3 – O2 Academy Bournemouth, Bournemouth, England September 4 – St George’s, Brighton, England September 6 – City Varieties, Leeds, England September 7 – Mackintosh Church, Glasgow, Scotland September 8 – Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland September 9 – RNCM Theatre, Manchester, England September 11 – Forum Theatre, Barrow, England September 12 – Grand Central, Liverpool, England September 13 – Assembly, Leamington Spa, England September 14 – Forum, Bath, England September 16 – Epic Studios, Norwich, England September 18 – Union Chapel, London, England September 19 – Union Chapel, London, England September 21 – Engine Shed, Lincoln, England
