As the Covid-19 Omicron variant continues to spread, particularly in New York, Brooklyn Steel has canceled the remaining three dates of LCD Soundsystem’s “You Are Here” 20-night residen…
saying it would complete the residency in the face of the surge, although by Sunday local circumstances have made that unfeasible.
“We’ve all known that there are risks playing these shows,” the message reads in part. “When we planned them, we thought we’d be in better shape, covid wise, by now, but it didn’t pan out so. We’ve been in a bubble together for months, our families, our crew. But we play in a room of thousands every night, so we know there are risks. We know that we and our team , in many ways, face the most risk of getting sick, just by virtue of being at everyone of our 20 shows.
“But we said we would play, and people are coming, so we are playing. But let’s be very, very clear — we are not saying by playing that we think it’s not a place you can catch covid or anything else, really… “You need to make your own decision as to whether you feel safe coming to see us. if you don’t, you can go to axs.com to get your money back. you’ll be first in line for tickets the next time we play in nyc. we won’t hold your money, or reschedule… you just get first crack next time there’s a gig here.”
