The dates have not yet been released, but the band confirmed that the shows will take place in December.

They reassured fans by saying that more details will be released this week, such as the new dates and the refund process for those who choose to opt for one. The group also spoke about the opening band, Greta Van Fleet , confirming their presence on the new dates.
The band says they may need to change the venues for the shows due to scheduling changes, but everything will be announced soon. The statement ends with a message to fans: “Go spend time with those you love, your children, pets, parents… Whoever is close to you. Create playlists, watch movies, try playing board games, and most importantly, stay safe.”
