The Zac Brown Band is postponing the rest of the dates on their spring leg of “The Owl Tour” because of coronavirus concerns.

The Atlanta-based band was slated to be on the road through April 25 in Nashville. There were no Atlanta dates on this round of shows, but the band is scheduled to play Truist Park Aug. 7 on its "Roar with the Lions" tour. That outing is scheduled to kick off in May as planned.

Here is the band’s statement about the current dates:

Out of caution and due to increasing public health concerns, Zac Brown Band is postponing the spring 2020 leg of “The Owl Tour.” This was an extremely difficult decision, but the well-being of our fans is always our top priority. Rescheduled dates for all spring shows (through Nashville on April 25) will be announced soon. We ask that our fans retain their tickets as they will be honored on the new dates. At this time, our “Roar With The Lions” Summer 2020 tour dates (commencing in May) will be performed as planned. Thank you for your understanding.
