The National New Zealand Shows Postponed To December

In what's been a dramatic week for the global live entertainment industry, Ohio indie rock icons The National have revealed new dates for their upcoming highly anticipated Aotearoa events, originally scheduled for April with support from rising Los Angeles-based songwriter Phoebe Bridgers. Fans will be stoked to hear the Matt Berninger-fronted group and Bridgers are thankfully still heading our way in December 2020, playing two intimate events at Auckland's Civic Theatre – here's The National's statement shared via social media today...

"The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a challenging few weeks for everyone. We have been monitoring the situation daily with our management & promoter partners. The recent rulings on international travel, the need to self-isolate and to cancel events of over 500 people have unfortunately made postponement of the shows the best present outcome. We have a responsibility to our dedicated audiences, to our amazing crew, to our families at home, and to ourselves to take precautions in the interest of health and safety. For these reasons we are moving our New Zealand and Australian performances with Phoebe Bridgers into December. We look forward very much to seeing you all at the end of the year."
