Another month amid a COVID-19 shutdown means more concerts and live music events have been canceled or postponed. Here are new dates for some shows you might be wondering about.

SCROLL DOWN FOR RESCHEDULED SHOW DATES

West Michigan's music scene
When Local Spins last revisited rescheduled concert dates in late April, Michigan’s stay-at-home order — and venue shutdown — extended through mid-May.
Since then, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has extended that order for lower Michigan through June 12, which means more postponements and cancellations. But things are looking brighter, with northern Michigan reopening for business and some holding out hope for live music later this summer.

Regardless, here’s a revised list of rescheduled dates for some concerts for those holding tickets or wondering about certain tours.
If you represent a venue or artist with other rescheduled shows not listed here, email liz@localspins.com with the details.
Rescheduled shows are listed here in order of the original date. The * indicates new dates for rescheduled shows, with many pushed back to late this year or into 2020.
