BANGOR, Maine — Concerts, music festivals, and large events across the U.S. have been canceled or rescheduled due to the global coronavirus pandemic, including many at Bangor’s Cross Insurance Center. One of its biggest shows of the summer, Ringo Starr and His All Star Band, is one, and sorry Ringo fans—it will not be rescheduled.
On Friday, Ringo announced he would be postponing his entire Spring 2020 All Starr Band tour “out of an abundance concern and caution for the well being of fans, crew and staff due to the Covid 19 [sic] crisis.”
“This is very difficult for me,” Ringo in a statement, “in 30 years I think I’ve only missed 2 or 3 gigs nevermind a whole tour. But this is how things are for all of us now, I have to stay in just like you have to stay in, and we all know it’s the peace and loving thing we do for each other”
The concert in Bangor was set for June 9 and included an opening act from multi-Grammy award nominated band The Avett Brothers.
“Unfortunately, due to touring and scheduling conflicts, the show will not be able to have a make-up date in Bangor during the 2021 touring cycle,” Cross Insurance Center Marketing Manager Bryan Stackpole said.
Ticket refunds will be issued via the point of purchase.
