Declan McKenna Postpones Upcoming UK And Ireland Zeros Tour Thursday, 14 January 2021
Zeros Tour.
He was due to kick off the trek in Sheffield on March 19 and conclude it at Cyprus Avenue in Cork on April 16, but all shows have now been pulled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with new dates yet to be announced.
In a statement posted to social media, the singer-songwriter said: Hi everyone, I ve seen lots of you asking about the shows in Feb, March, April and May. I ve been waiting to know for sure that these dates are out of the question and now I m sure you ll understand that they very much are. I have decided to postpone all of these shows, and I am determined to make sure they go ahead in the (not too distant) future. I think it is fair at this point not to announce new dates until we can all be sure they will go ahead, but go ahead they will, and tickets already purchased will remain valid.
Shanghai Skaterboys

Shanghai Street Stories blog has a post and photos of a recent visit to watch Shanghai’s skateboarders:
Children were the most intrigued. At one point, a mother tugged at her son who stood riveted by the skaterboys, “Look at them.” She sneered. “If you don’t do well in school, this is what happens to you.” The young child grinned to himself at the possibility, probably not the best parenting move.
Han Mingjie or Jeff Han, considered the “father of skateboarding in China” (more about him next time), once said that the perception of skateboarding in China is still too ‘underground’ (rebellious, individual, dangerous).
ABSOLUTE. will release his new Wonderland mixtape on March 12th.
The producer emerges from the London rave underground, channelling the energy of the spaces utilised by the LGBTQ+ community.
Peppering 2020 with some stellar tracks, ABSOLUTE. intends to make 2021 his own.
A headline show at London s Islington Assembly Hall is slated for March 20th, alongside a full mixtape.
Out on March 12th, Wonderland brought me back to life, says the producer. I was writing music that helped me feel certain ways, freedom and connected-ness to something I and many others were missing, longing hard to be around people, or needing a dose of raw euphoric rave energy which gave some release at the sheer desperation to dance and feel joy. Even if just for a short time, to feel transported to 90âs UK raves or New Yorkâs underground gave me some life, and I hope it does for you too. Â
