Brandi Carlile delays UK and European Human Tour until spring
Developed over time first seen 3 months ago
Brandi Carlile postponed her UK and European Human Tour dates, pushing them from this autumn to next spring, after citing unspecified "personal circumstances". The shift affects concerts featuring support act KT Tunstall and creates disruption for fans, particularly those who had arranged international travel to attend.
The 11-time Grammy winner announced the decision in an Instagram statement on 7 August, saying she had been "profoundly anxious" about the choice and had tried everything to avoid rescheduling. She thanked ticket-holders for their patience, promised the rearranged spring dates would be "worth the wait", and expressed hope fans would return to see her then; the tour follows her eighth studio album, Returning to Myself, released the previous October.
