Brandi Carlile postpones UK/EU tour to 2027 amid “personal circumstances” and swaps arenas for theatres
Brandi Carlile has rescheduled her upcoming UK and European tour to spring 2027, moving dates originally planned for autumn 2026 due to undisclosed personal circumstances. The artist acknowledged the disruption through a statement to fans, expressing concern about the impact on international travellers whilst hoping the postponement would provide adequate time to adjust plans.
The reschedule involves significant downsizing of British venues, with major arenas replaced by smaller theatres—London's 20,000-capacity O2 Arena becomes two nights at the 5,000-seat Eventim Apollo; Manchester's 21,000-capacity Co-op Live becomes two nights at the 3,500-seat O2 Apollo; and Glasgow's 14,000-capacity OVO Hydro becomes the 3,000-seat SEC Armadillo. Lisbon's Sagres Campo Pequeno date has been cancelled entirely, whilst Dublin's 3Arena remains scheduled. New ticket sales commence August 14.
In short
- Brandi Carlile postpones UK/EU tour to spring 2027 due to undisclosed personal circumstances
- UK venues downscaled from large arenas to mid-sized theatres; Lisbon date cancelled entirely
- Rescheduled tickets go on sale August 14, 2026
