Popular band, The Mysterines, have recently announced the cancellation of all their upcoming tour dates.
The Wirral-formed band were meant to be embarking on a lengthy tour of some of the UK’s most legendary grassroots venue, including two nights at The Wardrobe in Leeds and a headline slot at multi-venue festival Neighbourhood in Manchester.
But now the group have announced with ‘a heavy heart’ that they have cancelled ALL upcoming tour dates, all the way into 2025.
They said that to tour ‘is not the best decision for us at this time’ due to ‘recent circumstances’, but did not divulge any further information.
In a statement shared on Instagram, they wrote: “It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the cancellation of all upcoming tour dates due to recent circumstances.
“We were incredibly excited to share this tour with you, but after careful consideration, it has been decided that it’s not the best decision for us at this time.

“We sincerely apologise to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us perform, and we are deeply sorry for the disappointment this will cause. Please know that your support means the world to us, ticket refunds are available from point of purchase. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.
“With love always, The Mysterines x”
Responding to a comment that suggested The Mysterines had cancelled their tour due to financial reasons, frontwoman Lia Metcalfe wrote: “Unfortunately, most bands lose money touring nowadays, no matter how many tickets you sell or how big the tour is you’re on.
“But, this has never been a reason for us to cancel shows that we have already made commitments to. Especially a whole headline tour of our own, that we were also looking forward to.
“Please appreciate this wasn’t an easy decision and suggesting that this is about money is both ill informed and insensitive to our current circumstances.”
