Lucy Dacus has postponed some of her upcoming UK and Ireland tour dates after testing positive for COVID-19. Dacus had been scheduled to commence her UK and European tour in support of her 2021 album Home Video tomorrow (March 18) with the first of two nights at Leeds’ Brudenell Social Club (March 18 & 19), as well as a Glasgow show at St. Luke’s (March 20) and a Manchester appearance at Gorilla (March 23). These dates have now been put on hold, with new dates expected soon.
The tour will instead begin in Bristol on March 24, with additional gigs in London, Brighton and at the BBC 6 Music Festival in Cardiff unaffected. The announcement came after Dacus confirmed she had tested positive for COVID just before leaving the US for her tour.
A statement was sent out on Dacus’ social media channels last night (March 16) which read “She is doing well however, out of an abundance of caution and care for the rest of her band, crew and fans, we are postponing the first few shows of the tour. These shows will be rescheduled quickly (more on that soon) and the tour will begin as planned in Bristol on March 24.” She then continued “Lucy’s really looking forward to her arrival in the UK and Europe, and playing for you all. Thanks for your care and support, and she will see you soon!”

It was not stated when she planned to reschedule the shows, perhaps for dates during her trip to Europe as the tour is currently scheduled to finish in Paris on April 15. Alternatively, she could possibly rearrange the gigs for late summer, when she returns to the UK for previously planned appearances at End of the Road Festival and London’s All Points East.
