Mitski postpones shows in NYC and Philadelphia due to COVID in touring party

Mitski has postponed two upcoming shows due to a positive COVID-19 test in her touring party.

The Japanese-American artist is currently out on the road in the US in support of her acclaimed sixth album ‘Laurel Hell’, which came out on February 4.

This week’s shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York tomorrow (March 24) and Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia on Friday (March 25) will now take place at a later date, according to a post on Twitter. Earlier this week, Mitski’s shows in Boston were also postponed for the same reason.
