Bikini Kill<\/a> have announced that they\u2019ll be rescheduling their March tour run due to concerns over coronavirus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take the health and safety of our supporters, crew and opening bands very seriously, and given the situation in Seattle as well as the lack of information about the actual infection rate of the surrounding areas, it doesn\u2019t make sense for us to go forward with any of the shows in the region,\u201d the band wrote on Twitter. Bikini Kill urged fans to donate to the Interfaith Works Emergency Overnight Shelter as well, since their shows in Olympia were to benefit that charity. They plan to reschedule shows and offer refunds.<\/p>\n

More than a decade after formally disbanding in 1997, Bikini Kill released their music to streaming services for the first time in 2018 and announced their first string of reunion shows<\/a> last year, playing gigs in New York, Los Angeles and London in 2019. The group also headlined Riot Fest<\/a> in Chicago this past September.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that for some people, it\u2019s the gateway drug to feminism,\u201d lead singer Kathleen Hanna told TIDAL<\/a>. \u201cI hope they listen to the music and have feelings that they\u2019ve already felt reinforced. Like, \u2018These things are happening to me and I don\u2019t know why and I\u2019m not alone.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Bikini Kill\u2019s remaining tour schedule for 2020<\/a> resumes May 10th in Silver Spring, Maryland, and is currently booked all the way through October, with stops across the U.S., Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n
