Let’s try this again…
In the interest of safety, I’ve decided to only play outdoors for the upcoming tour. We are moving all previously scheduled indoor shows to outdoor venues and we’ve needed to postpone shows in a couple cities so please check the updated schedule. pic.twitter.com/WFMvvnYUH0— traitor joe (@phoebe_bridgers) August 23, 2021
Where that’s not permissible by law, we’ll agree to proof of vaccination OR proof of negative test result (PCR preferred/Antigen accepted) within 48 hours prior to entering those venues.
And please wear a mask. I love you. See you soon.
