Kacey Musgraves Cancels Three US Tour Dates Without Explanation

Country music star Kacey Musgraves has cancelled three dates on her upcoming ‘Middle Of Nowhere’ tour without offering an explanation. The affected shows include the tour’s original opening night in Chicago, which was scheduled for next month.

The country star had been due to begin the extensive international tour with two consecutive shows at Chicago’s United Center on August 20 and 21. However, the opening concert on August 20 has now been cancelled, alongside a show at Boston’s TD Garden on August 29 and another at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on September 2.

All three were additional dates announced after the original tour schedule, and Musgraves is still set to perform in Chicago on August 21, Boston on August 28 and at New York’s Madison Square Garden on August 31 and September 1. Ticket holders have received emails informing them of the cancellations, with information regarding refunds.

At the time of writing, Musgraves has not commented publicly on any of the cancellations. The remaining dates are still listed on her official tour page, with tickets available for the alternative shows in Chicago, Boston and New York.

The tour is in support of her seventh studio album ‘Middle Of Nowhere’, which was released in May and followed 2024’s ‘Deeper Well’. The record includes collaborations with Willie Nelson and Miranda Lambert. Before its release, Musgraves debuted several songs from the record during a surprise appearance at Coachella 2026, marking her first performance at the festival since 2019.
