US alternative rock band Pixies has postponed their remaining Australian tour dates amid concerns about coronavirus.

In a statement from the band they said all dates including tonight and tomorrow nights’ shows in Brisbane at The Fortitude Music Hall will be rescheduled to a date later in the year.

“Out of caution for current public health concerns, Pixies are postponing the remaining Australian shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth,” the band announced today.

“This was an extremely difficult decision, but the well-being of our fans is always our top priority.

“Rescheduled dates for all of these shows will be announced soon. We ask that our fans retain their tickets as they will be honoured on the new dates. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to returning to Australia.”

Live Nation is working with the band to reschedule the postponed dates for later in 2020 and hope to announce these as soon as possible.

Ticket holders wishing to attend the shows should retain their tickets pending confirmation of new dates.

Live Nation said those unable or unwilling to attend the new dates can obtain a full refund from the point of purchase.
