The “Zeros” tour was initially announced in July of 2020; however, it sadly suffered the same fate as every prospective tour at the time and was postponed in February of 2021, with McKenna originally planning for the tour to run from March to May of 2021. McKenna finally embarked on the tour in August of this year, kicking off the run of shows with a performance at Junction in Cambridge.

On September 6^th, prior to the gig at Liverpool’s O2 Academy, McKenna announced via social media that one of his band members had tested positive for COVID-19, and consequently, the next two shows had to be cancelled. The tour resumed on September 9^th at the O2 Academy in Leicester, however, McKenna informed fans on September 13^th that he himself had tested positive, stating: “Although I had covid just 2 months ago, and it is largely advised not to take tests for 90 days after having covid due to potential for false positives, it’s been standard procedure among my whole team to test very regularly in the interest of safety, and one of the tests that I took has come up as positive.”

Much to the relief of fans who had booked tickets for the remainder of the tour, McKenna announced that he had tested negative on September 16^th, and was able to proceed with his show at the UEA campus in Norwich.

In other recent news, Declan McKenna has teased a possible musical collaboration with fellow UK artist Sam Fender, with McKenna telling NME in a video interview at Reading Festival; “Sam Fender and I will get in the studio at some point”. Fender joined McKenna on stage at Leeds Festival for a performance of McKenna’s hit song “Brazil”, making the prospect of a creative collaboration between the two seem even more likely.

As mentioned previously, Declan McKenna’s rescheduled tour dates will take place ahead of his EU tour in May 2022, the first of which being the Liverpool show at the O2 Academy on May 4^th. The rescheduled tour dates are listed down below. Tickets for the EU tour can be purchased here, along with any remaining tickets for the next few shows of his current UK tour.

In an instagram post, Bon Iver announced that “After careful consideration of the fluid situation of the pandemic, we have decided to reschedule our fall 2021 European tour dates for October and November 2022. The ongoing uncertainty around international travel and restrictions make any kind of international touring impossible.

Unfortunately, we are unable to include a rescheduled Cologne date at this time and our dear friend @aarondessner’s Big 37d03d Machine is not able to join us for the rescheduled dates. For London purchasers, tickets for 11/1/21 are now valid for 10/25/22; tickets for 11/2/21 are now valid for 10/26/22.

The 2021 ‘Fingers Crossed’ tour had been due to kick off in October, when the band’s new album is also set to be released. According to the band speaking to NME, the new album is “about the aftermath of coming through something together, but also not being able to comprehend what someone else is going through. We’re all trying to make the best of that.”

The ‘Fingers Crossed’ tour will now take place in February and March 2022 – except for their date at Hamburg, which has been rescheduled for August 16th due to repair works being carried out at the stadium until then. The band announced the rescheduled dates in a tweet, saying that “With the ongoing uncertainty around travel restrictions, we have made the decision to postpone our upcoming European tour until February/March 2022. We can’t wait to get out and see you all as soon as it is safe for everyone to be together again”

Tickets are now on sale now at: https://www.biffyclyro.com/live/. Tickets for the Hannover gig will go on sale this Friday 25th June at 9am BST / 10am CET. The band also promises an update on a Stockholm date soon, and notes that any tickets already purchased will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.

The band are also set to headline next year’s Download festival, amongst other big names including Iron Maiden and KISS who will also take the main stage.
