Live Nation plans to pause all domestic and international touring shows due to concerns around the spread of coronavirus.

Billboard reports Live Nation informed their employees that all tours will be paused through the end of March and that some shows will go on as scheduled today (March 12) and tomorrow (March 13.) Starting this weekend, all shows scheduled for the rest of March will be postponed.

Live Nation is expected to "re-evaluate" their tour production schedule in early April. Depending on the current state of COVID-19, touring would hopefully resume in May or June.

A number of artists and productions would be affected by the Live Nation pause including Billie Eilish, Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band, Cher, Kiss, Post Malone, Tool, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Shania in Vegas, Chris Stapleton and more.
