Four of hair metal’s finest were set to tour

The Big Rock Summer Tour 2020 featuring Ratt, Skid Row, Slaughter and Cinderella’s Tom Keifer has been canceled due to COVID-19. The bands shared the news via a joint announcement as the June 3rd kickoff passed.

“Due to concerns of COVID 19, The Big Rock Summer Tour will no longer be taking place as originally scheduled this summer and fall. Tickets will automatically be refunded at point of purchase. Thank you for your understanding and support,” a statement on the tour’s website confirms.

The trek was scheduled to visit more than two dozen cities throughout North America where fans would be treated to more party anthems and ballads than ever before. Quiet Riot was slated to fill in for Slaughter and Kiefer for two stops.

No word on if the groups will attempt a 2021 run of dates. More details should they become available.
