The upcoming drive-in tour of Six the Musical has been pulled by promoter, Live Nation Entertainment.

The news comes only 48 hours after announcing that more dates would be added.

A spokesperson from Live Nation said: "The latest developments regarding localised lockdowns mean it has become impossible for us to continue with the series with any confidence."

Ticketmaster will refund ticketholders over the next seven days.

Producers Kenny Wax, Wendy and Andy Barnes and George Stiles said: "This devastating news has come out of blue and hit us all for six. We are so sorry to disappoint the thousands of fans who have booked tickets and sold out many dates on the tour. It is also a sad day for our West End and UK Tour Queens who had already started rehearsals and our entire team of up to 60 people who were all working so hard to deliver a spectacular show.

"Despite the Government announcing stage three of Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden's road map permitting performances outdoors with an audience, the planned tour was due to visit 12 cities, several of which have since been identified as emerging Covid infection hot spots.

"We know that ultimately there is nothing more important than the safety and wellbeing of our company and the Six Queendom. We look forward to better times."

Whilst this is sad news, tickets remain on sale for the West End run and its 2021 UK tour at https://www.sixthemusical.com/.

Don’t miss out on your Six fix!
