These are the latest tours canceled due to the spread of coronavirus
Wolf Parade's first show of the trek was set to take place later Monday in The Netherlands.
Citing the spread of coronavirus, the band wrote in the post that"it would be both globally irresponsible and potentially risky for the band to carry out the tour at this time." The statement added that the band feared carrying and spreading the virus or being quarantined for contracting it as worst-case scenarios due to all the people they come into contact with at shows, airports and more.
"We did not arrive at this decision easily, but in the end, the band and our team all agree it is the right and responsible decision," the statement said."We hope you understand." Wolf Parade suggested fans seek refunds for their tickets since they plan to reschedule dates, but are unsure when they will be able to do so.
