Steps cancel Cardiff gig after positive Covid-19 cases

Pop group Steps have been forced to cancel their upcoming Cardiff gig due to members of their touring party testing positive for Covid-19.

The 90s’ band said in a statement they had “tried every way possible” to perform their final two tour dates in Cardiff and Bournemouth this week, but have been forced to postpone until the summer of 2022.

The Cardiff gig was due to be played at the Motorpoint Arena on Monday 29 November. The band explained that this will now be rescheduled for summer next year.

A message posted on the band’s official Twitter account said: “Hi everyone, unfortunately we now have further positive Covid-19 cases in our touring party which have made continuing with the ‘What The Future Holds’ tour impossible.

“For the safety of everyone involved in the show we have decided to reschedule tonight’s Cardiff and Wednesday’s Bournemouth show to summer 2022 (dates to be announced soon.)

“We have tried every way possible to continue with our final shows, however we have to put everyone’s health and safety as our top priority.

“We are so disappointed to postpone these shows as we were really looking forward to performing for you all. We appreciate your continued support and hope you will join us in wishing those affected a speedy recovery.”

Band member Faye Tozer had already been forced to abandon her group-mates for the some of the tour after testing positive for Covid 10 days ago.
