Doobie Brothers Reschedule 50th Anniversary Tour with Michael McDonald to 2021 Due to Coronavirus Pandemic

San Jose based classic rock icons the Doobie Brothers have officially postponed their 50th anniversary tour with fellow band member Michael McDonald to 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to Brooklyn Vegan. The tour was originally supposed to take place from June to October during this year.

“This decision has been made with the health and safety of fans, crew and local employees in mind,” the band noted in a statement. The tour will now kick off July 17, 2021 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and wrap up October 23, 2021 in New Orleans, Louisiana. All previous ticket purchases will still be valid, and “if ticket holders can no longer attend or would prefer a refund, they will receive an email directly allowing them to request one.”

The Doobie Brothers have recently been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class of 2020, along with Nine Inch Nails, Whitney Houston, Notorious B.I.G, Depeche Mode and T. Rex. The ceremony was supposed to take place on May 2nd of this year, but the official ceremony was postponed due to the coronavirus.

The band recently provided their fans with some much needed entertainment, creating a rendition of their 1974 classic “Black Water” at home. The cover was done in partnership with Feeding America in order to raise money for those struggling to find consistent meals during these uneasy times.
