Zac Brown Band has canceled its concert at the St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater at Lakeview after singer Zac Brown tested positive for Covid-19.
Brown said he was pushing “pause” on the tour, but officially canceled four shows, including at the St. Joe’s Amp in Syracuse this Saturday, Oct. 2, and at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) in Saratoga Springs on Sunday, Oct. 3. Refunds will be issued at the point of purchase.
“Despite taking precautions, I’ve tested positive for Covid-19,” Brown wrote in a note to fans Tuesday. “I am deeply disappointed this has happened, as touring is our life and performing live for our fans is the best part of our job. The bottom line is that I want to take every precaution to put the health and safety of our fans and crew first. We will resume the tour as soon as I have finished the CDC-mandated quarantine and it is safe for our band members and crew to do so.”
Brown’s “pause” announcement suggested the show was being postponed, but he did not announce any rescheduled dates.
The Grammy-winning country group had performed at the St. Joe’s Amp every year since the former Lakeview Amphitheater’s debut season in 2016, with sellout crowds in 2017 and 2018. ZBB was previously scheduled to perform at the Amp in 2020, but was one of the first artists to call off shows due to the Covid-19 pandemic last year. When “Comeback Tour” dates were announced in May, they included stops at Darien Lake (Sept. 4), Bethel Woods (Aug. 6) and SPAC — but initially left out Syracuse.
A surge in Covid cases fueled by the Delta variant has affected multiple tours, including two earlier shows at the St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater at Lakeview. KoRn canceled an August appearance at St. Joe’s Amp after singer Jonathan Davis tested positive for Covid, and Florida Georgia Line axed an Oct. 9 show “out of an abundance of caution.”
Only two more shows remain on the calendar for the Syracuse amphitheater this season: Slipknot’s Knotfest Roadshow on Oct. 5 and Chris Stapleton on Oct. 7.
