Folk duo The Milk Carton Kids have shared the “not earth shattering but nonetheless disappointing news” that they will push their fall tour into 2022.

In a note from bandmates Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale, they agree that while “everyone and every region is at a different place with this pandemic,” it’s not the time to risk the well-being of their band.

Their new outing will begin on March 2, 2022 in Stoughton, Wisc. and they will make stops in Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Virginia.

The band concludes, “In the meantime, we’ll be working hard on new music and scheduling many more dates for you. Until then, we love you all, and will see you soon.”

Dear friends, we come to you with some hopefully not earth shattering but nonetheless disappointing news. We’re rescheduling the below dates into next year. Crazy to think we’re still here all this time later, but, here we are. Everyone and every region is at a different place with this pandemic, but for us this decision is based on the underlying health status, risk tolerance, and well-being of our band, families, and touring team. We hope we’re not letting down those of you who have already bought tickets too much. We can’t wait to come see you again. Your tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates, or you can get a refund at the point of purchase. In the meantime, we’ll be working hard on new music and scheduling many more dates for you. Until then, we love you all, and will see you soon. J&K
