Hey, Merge fans! We hope you are all keeping safe and healthy in these trying times. We have received numerous requests for information on how to help the Merge artists whose tours have been directly affected by coronavirus. To that end, we have compiled a list of postponements and cancellations below, along with links to ways you can support these artists while they are off the road.
 

Of course, a tried-and-true way to support all Merge artists is to shop the Merge store, where U.S. shipping is always free! And through May 31, use code STAYHOME at checkout for 15% off your entire cart (excluding pre-orders). Beyond Merge, we encourage you to browse the resources found on She Shreds and Creative Capital for even more ways to help musicians and the broader arts community.

We are hunkering down and “Staying Home” as well while doing our best to support our local music venues, bars, record shops, bookstores, and restaurants in any way we can. And we’ll be releasing new music as usual because we all need it more than ever, so please keep listening!

xo, Merge
