Belinda Carlisle Reschedules Decades Tour To 2022 And 2023

Belinda Carlisle has rescheduled her Decades UK and Ireland Tour.
Due to concerns over COVID-19 and its effect on touring, the Go-Go's vocalist has moved her Irish shows to July 2022 and the UK dates to February 2023.
Original tickets will be honoured for the rearranged gigs. Unfortunately, the 63-year-old's show in Bexhill-On-Sea has been cancelled, with ticket holders advised to contact their point of purchase for a refund. A statement from her management reads:
"It is with great regret that we must announce the postponement of Belinda’s UK and Irish ‘Decades’ tour, which was originally scheduled for October and November 2021. The Irish dates will be moved to July 2022 and the UK dates will move to February 2023.
"Please understand that this was by no means an easy decision to make, not least because of all the work that has already gone into organising this tour, but we feel that the circumstances surrounding the resumption of full-scale, weeks long touring are still too uncertain for us to be able go ahead in a safe, responsible manner. The outlook will of course change over time and hindsight may prove us unduly cautious, but Belinda has a large number of freelance professionals working for her and it would not be fair either to them or to you the ticket holders to make such a momentous decision at the last moment. Add to this the fact that Belinda is in a red list country and we are still unable to insure her shows against Covid related cancellation and we really felt we had no other option.
"We understand that some people may disagree with this decision however we always try to work in a pro-active manner and felt it better to make the call now rather than wait until late September and then perhaps be forced to do so.
"Belinda is of course extremely disappointed about this, she has not performed anywhere for over eighteen months now and very much misses being on stage but she also wants to keep everyone safe, so she has reluctantly accepted our advice on this. She sends you all her deepest apologies for this turn of events and hopes everyone stays well.
"Tickets will remain valid for our rescheduled shows so where possible we would ask you to please keep hold of them for the future date. If you cannot attend the new date, or wish to ask for a refund instead, please contact your point of purchase before 31st December 2021.
"Lastly, it has sadly proved impossible to reschedule the date at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea, so the show there will unfortunately have to be cancelled completely. Please contact your point of purchase for a refund."
Announced in May 2020, the trek was originally planned for October and November 2021 to celebrate 35 years of the singer's solo career. Her last studio album came in the form of 2017's 'Wilder Shores'.
