SARATOGA SPRINGS — Dead & Company have canceled their previously scheduled Aug. 3 appearance at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. 

The statement, released Tuesday afternoon reads: “Because of the global coronavirus outbreak and to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have no choice but to cancel Dead & Company’s Summer Tour 2020.  The well-being and safety of our Deadhead community, venue staff and the band’s touring family is of the utmost importance.  We also want to get refunds back to our fans while so many are hurting economically.  All tickets will be fully refunded at point of purchase. We are thankful for your understanding and we look forward to the day when we can all be reunited.  In the meantime, keep the faith and believe in the power of music.  We will return.  We will get by.  We will survive.”
