Black Star Riders have withdrawn from their planned autumn 2026 European "Rock 'N' Roll Salvation Tour" with Tyketto, citing disappointing ticket sales. The band confirmed the decision in a social media statement on Wednesday 8 July, apologising for the inconvenience and noting that refunds are available from the point of purchase. Tyketto will nonetheless proceed with the tour, replacing Black Star Riders with Coreleoni — the side project of Gotthard's Leo Leoni — as co-headliner.

The trek had been due to open on 29 September in Bochum, Germany, and run until an 18 October concert in Lindau, Germany. Black Star Riders' current touring line-up features Ricky Warwick, Jimmy DeGrasso, Marco Mendoza and Sam Wood. Formed in 2012 by four members of Thin Lizzy plus DeGrasso, the band released their acclaimed debut "All Hell Breaks Loose" in 2013; founding guitarist Scott Gorham stepped down in 2021 to focus on Thin Lizzy, and the group issued the single "Why Are The Rats?" in July 2024.
