The Chicks Postpone & Cancel More Tour Dates Due to ‘Ongoing Illness’

Sad news for fans of The Chicks.

On Tuesday (August 1), the country music group – featuring members Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, and Emily Strayer – announced that they were canceling one of the their The Chicks Tour stops and postponing another due to “ongoing illness.”

The Chicks were originally scheduled to perform at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, New York on Thursday, August 3. That show has now been canceled.

They were also scheduled to perform at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, but they have rescheduled that show for September 20.

“Due to an ongoing illness, we regret that we must reschedule our show at Merriweather Post Pavilion and cancel our show at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts,” The Chicks wrote on Instagram. “The new date for Merriweather Post Pavilion is September 20.”

“All original tickets for Merriweather Post Pavilion will be honored at the rescheduled date,” The Chicks continued. “For more information, contact your point of purchase.”

They concluded, “For ticket buyers at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, no action is required as refunds will be automatic. If tickets were purchased at the Box Office, ticket buyers will have the ability to receive their refund in person. All other purchasers should contact their original point of purchase for a full refund.”

The new tour update comes days after The Chicks postponed their Nashville show, just hours before they were set to take the stage.
