Poliça postpone their 2020 US Tour dates through April 2, due to the coronovirus pandemic. They shared a message via Instagram, stating, “We are heartbroken to announce that due to the Covid-19 pandemic and uncertainty of this new illness we are postponing our US tour from March 19th-April 2nd. We will reschedule and inform you of the new dates as soon as possible. Most importantly our hearts and support go out to those who are struggling or have lost loved ones to this horrible illness! Our hearts also go out to everyone who works in industries affected by this pandemic. To the nurses and doctors caring for the sick to all those who have lost all their Spring and Summer income and work they had been preparing for and depending on. I hope all of you reach out to your family, friends and community to support each other in this time; even if it’s remotely. Much love to all of you from all of us in the Poliça family.”

Poliça released their studio album, When We Stay Alive earlier this year. Tegan and Sara also had a major release in 2019 with their studio album Hey, I’m Just Like You. The band has been touring Europe in February 2020 with stops in Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Italy and Portugal. They were set to embark on March 19 in the United States, kicking off at the High Noon Saloon in Madison, Wisconsin, however the tour has been canceled through April 2, 2020.

UPDATE (3/20): In news that will surprise no one, Poliça has announced that they’ve had to cancel the remainder of their tour dates this spring.

Hello to my dearest Poliça followers, fans and family: It will come as no shock to you that we have to cancel all our upcoming March/April/May tours and shows for the foreseeable future. We are working to reschedule but the future is very unknown for ALL of us right now. All of us are fighting the fear and the heartbreak for our future and that of our fellow humans out here. The Poliça family wanted to offer up a live recording from one of our recent shows this past February in Europe. "Poliça Live in Hamburg 2020" is now available on @bandcamp and the link is in our bio if you want to give a listen and dance off some of the anxiety. We love you guys and we're reaching out our hearts to you and your loved ones. Be well and be healthy. Love, Channy and the rest of Poliça
