Tocotronic also have to postpone their planned tour. Instead of March and April 2022, the band is now going on a concert tour from June to the end of the year. Presented by Musikexpress and Rolling Stone.
Tocotronic said in a statement:
“geeks*,
Unfortunately we have sad news for you today: Due to the current pandemic situation and the current decisions of the Prime Ministers’ Conference, we feel compelled to postpone our “NEVER AGAIN WAR” tour planned for March and April to early summer 2022.
Fully occupied concert halls, as you are used to from our shows, will not be feasible in the current situation.
As you can probably imagine, this decision was not an easy one for us and we had the HOPE until the end of being able to play the tour we had been working towards for so long. We have worked out a wonderful program for you that takes into account the new album and all phases of Toco’s history. In short: it rocks! But your safety and health come first. We apologize for any inconvenience, but the situation leaves us no other choice. We hope for your understanding and look forward to seeing you again from June at nice and safe concerts. Until then please stay healthy, we need you more than anything else. LET THERE BE ROCK!
PS Of course, tickets already purchased remain valid!”

On January 26th we launched a digital space that we set up for bands, musicians, promoters, clubs and solo self-employed people in the live music business. There everyone can communicate their concert announcements, postponements and cancellations and find out about projects, jobs and special releases. Statements can also be posted and opinions discussed.
It’s a kind of digital “bulletin board” and is intended to help the music scene get through the Covid crisis relatively unscathed.
