PinkPantheress Cancels All Remaining 2024 Tour Dates
PinkPantheress has cancelled all her remaining tour dates in 2024 in order to focus on her “physical health and overall well-being.”
The singer-songwriter made the announcement on Thursday 1 August on her Instagram Story.
“It is with the heaviest heart that I sadly have to announce that I will not be able to continue the rest of my live shows this year in order to focus on my physical health and overall well-being,” she wrote. “It appears I have reached a wall which I’m struggling to penetrate through.”
She has been opening for Olivia Rodrigo on her GUTS tour since 19 July and was scheduled to perform at Rodrigo’s upcoming San Francisco and Vancouver concerts. PinkPantheress clarified that her canceled dates will include “my GUTS tour, Field Day, summer Sonice, FORM, III Points, and Australia/NZ appearances.”
“I would like to thank all of you, as well as my touring team and Olivia for giving me the platform to perform some super fun shows,” she added. “I’m sad to disappoint anyone and can only hope we will be in each other’s company once I return to health.”
Speaking to GQ earlier this year about the shows with Rodrigo, the singer said, “I feel like there’s some crossover, just because we’re both in the same age group and we’re both cute girlies, but actually the more I think about it I feel like there’s less crossover. I’m realizing slowly that people don’t see my music as pop music at all, and some people really see it in their own lane, whereas Olivia is very much down-the-line pop.
“I think people aren’t going to be really familiar with me at those shows, which I’m very excited about because it means I can expose new people to my music. It is also nerve-wracking because I think part of me is like, wow, are they going to even going to fuck with me?
“I can’t just put on a good performance at those things. I have to put on a performance where we’re convincing people to listen to me. It’s a very unique thing I have to think about. But I’m really excited and I do really love her.”
