Alkaline’s New Rules concert has been postponed.
Alkaline’s much-anticipated “New Rules” concert has been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The concert, which was set to take place inside the National Stadium on April 25, will be rescheduled. It becomes the latest high profiled event to scrap its plans due to the deadly virus.
Earlier this week, the promotional team, led by Alkaline’s sister, Kereena Beckford, released a statement on the issue. She says the decision to push back the event was taken with fans in mind.
“With the recent announcement of new travel bans and Jamaica’s labeling as a disaster area due to the Covid-19 virus threat, the New Era Production team has decided to postpone the April staging of the New Rules Festival. We are presently consulting our advisers on the best date to host the event, based on the predictions by medical experts on when this unforeseen virus will be contained,” the statement declared.
According to Beckford, fans who have already bought tickets can still use them on the next announced date.
Meanwhile, Beckford says Alkaline will be helping out in the fight against the disease. She revealed that they will be donating cleaning supplies to the Maxfield Park Children’s Home in Kingston.
According to Beckford, the move was a natural one, as the deejay fully understands the gravity of the situation.
“Some of the items the home requires is costly for them, and we understand the importance. We know supplies are high in demand right now and not available to everyone, and so we want to help as best as we can to make sure these kids are protected and safe.”
