Eric Church brings his Gather Again tour to Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena Friday night.

Country star Eric Church will be performing tonight at PPG Paints Arena without his band due to players having covid.

The singer announced the change via his Facebook page.

“Despite thorough safety protocols, a limited number of breakthrough covid-19 cases have occurred within the Eric Church Band,” the post reads. “In the best interest of everyone’s health and safety, Eric Church will perform this weekend’s shows in Pittsburgh & Philadelphia as a special solo performance. Get ready PA.”

The Pittsburgh show is expected to start at 8 p.m.

The Philadelphia show is at 8 p.m. Saturday at Wells Fargo Center.

The stops were part of the “Gather Again” tour.
