STS9 canceled appearances at this weekend’s Secret Dreams and Elements festivals after a band member tested positive for COVID-19. “Sadly, a member of STS9 has contracted COVID – we must take precaution, and for the safety of the festival staffs and other artists, the band will be unable to perform at Secret Dreams and Elements this weekend,” wrote Tribe in a note on the group’s social feeds announcing the news.
“To everyone attending these festivals: please have fun, be safe, and we hope to make our way back around to you soon,” added the livetronica quintet. View STS9’s announcement here:
