No summer concerts this year at Ashton Gate

By Martin Booth  Friday Apr 24, 2020

The Killers show scheduled for June 9 at Ashton Gate Stadium has been postponed until next year.

All tickets purchased for the outdoor concert, which was due to have support from the Manic Street Preachers, will remain valid for the rescheduled date.

Following performances from Take That, the Spice Girls, Muse and Rod Stewart at the stadium last year, The Killers was the only confirmed show for 2020.

The new date for The Killers performance at Ashton Gate will be Thursday, May 27 2021.

Ashton Gate Stadium managing director Mark Kelly said: “Obviously it’s a great shame that the tour has had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic but the most important thing is keeping people safe during this difficult time.

“The band has stressed that this is simply a postponement not a cancellation and we are pleased that we have the new date locked in and ready for next year.

“Naturally fans will be disappointed to have to wait a bit longer but hopefully people will understand and appreciate that we must all remain focused on fighting the spread of this virus.”

In a statement, The Killers said: “UK and Ireland friends… We must postpone our UK and Ireland dates due to COVID. The single most important thing is that you all take care of yourselves and be safe and healthy.

“These are going to be the same great shows, but we have to move them to next year. All tickets will be honoured, so we really hope you will join us.”
