CMAT announces 2027 touring hiatus: “I’m literally losing my mind”
Irish singer-songwriter CMAT has said she will stop touring throughout 2027, explaining that the demands of constant live performances have left her feeling overwhelmed. The announcement matters because it pauses a rapidly growing live career just as she is gaining wider recognition, including through major festival appearances and award attention.
She made the comments after performing at Latitude Festival, saying she was “literally losing my mind” from touring and needed a break. CMAT did not say she was retiring from music, and her forthcoming album, *Euro-Country*, is due for release before the hiatus; she is also scheduled to play further dates during 2026.
In short
- CMAT will not tour during 2027.
