COVID-19 FORCES MORE PROG PLAN CHANGES
Releases, tours and festivals adjust dates over pandemic.
Coronavirus and its associated restrictions continue to affect the plans of a number of prog artists. Steven Wilson had intended to release new album The Future Bites in June, but has delayed the launch until January 2021, citing “unprecedented challenges” rooted in the “grander scale” he was working to. Them Moose Rush’s Dancing Maze album launch has also been moved to June 19.
This year’s Ramblin’ Man Fair, ArcTanGent and Winter’s End festivals have all been postponed until 2021 while Radar Fest has moved to October 16-17, 2020.
Yes have rescheduled this year’s tour plans to the following year, while Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets and Pendragon have both announced that new dates would replace their original schedule for this year. Big Big Train have cancelled their European tour and are offering ticket holders three months’ access to their fan club to make up for it. Marillion postponed their 2021 Weekends until 2022, with the possible exception of the UK date.
