LCD Soundsystem Cancel Final Residency Dates #shorts

Just three shows shy of closing out a month-long residency at New York venue Brooklyn Steel, LCD Soundsystem have canceled the remaining dates following the upsurge in COVID-19 cases around the new variant Omicron.

“You all have spoken, the last three shows are cancelled,” said the band in a statement on social media. “You good people who want to return your tickets and try again another time have spoken, but so has the new info, the hospital capacity, and those of us in the band, crew, and venue. We certainly had enough cancellations to make the vote count, but we also, now with all the new info, want to stop for our own sakes.”

Marking the first set of shows for LCD Soundsystem in three years—and the band’s return to the venue since 2017—the residency kicked off on Nov. 23 and was set to have a record-run of dates through December 21.

On Dec. 17, the band responded to the rapid increase of COVID-19 cases in New York and said they would be continuing on with their last remaining sold-out shows at the 1,800-capacity venue, scheduled for Dec. 19, 20, and 21. “We said we would play, and people are coming, so we are playing,” said the band. “Us playing the shows is in no way an indicator that it’s safe to attend.”
