Stormzy Postpones 2021 UK and Ireland Tour Dates

British rapper Stormzy has postponed the UK and Ireland dates of his “Heavy Is the Head” tour.

Originally scheduled to take place in fall 2020, the tour was then postponed due to the pandemic. New dates were set to start in April 2021. Now, the shows have been postponed once again with the UK remaining in lockdown until at least next month. Rescheduled dates have yet to be announced.

Ticketholders are advised to contact their point of purchase for further information.

Stormzy is still set to headline this year’s Reading & Leeds festivals alongside Liam Gallagher, Queens Of The Stone Age, Catfish And The Bottlemen, Post Malone, and Disclosure. Reading & Leeds 2021 will take place on August 27th – 29th.

While Reading & Leeds hope to go on as planned this year, many other festivals have already written off 2021. Glastonbury has already canceled this year’s event, while Coachella hopes to hold its 2021 festival in the fall. But with the slow vaccine roll-out, many question if it’s possible for live music to return this year. We can only hope that it does.
