East Coast Music Awards push virtual bash to June from May

The East Coast Music Awards are now set for a virtual edition on June 10.

Organizers say they’ve selected the new date after hopes of hosting an in-person ceremony in Sydney, N.S., in May were dashed by a recent surge of COVID-19 cases in the region.

Leading nominees at this year’s ceremony include rapper Classified with eight nods and singer-songwriter Rose Cousins with six.

Last week, planners of the awards ceremony bumped the show from its original date in early May when it became clear a gathering wouldn’t be possible.
