Kacey Musgraves' 'Middle Of Nowhere' tour is feeling the strain of a hectic opening leg - and it's a blow to fans who were eagerly anticipating some live action. The country music star has just cancelled three dates on her US tour, including the originally scheduled opening night in Chicago on 20 August, followed by shows in Boston on 29 August and Brooklyn on 2 September.
These dates, which had been added to the initial itinerary due to high demand, are now off - but don't worry, Kacey's army of fans in those cities won't be left entirely in the dark. The good news is that Musgraves' other scheduled shows in Chicago, Boston, and New York will go ahead as planned. Those who had snapped up tickets for the cancelled dates can expect to receive a refund - but it's still a disappointing turn of events for fans who were counting down the days until Kacey took the stage.
The 'Middle Of Nowhere' tour is in support of Musgraves' latest album, which dropped in May 2026 and has been getting rave reviews from critics. The album, her seventh studio release via Lost Highway Records, features collaborations with the likes of Willie Nelson and Miranda Lambert - and has been praised for its thematic cohesion and introspective exploration of solitude.
Before this tour even got underway, Kacey had already given fans a taste of what's to come with a surprise Coachella appearance in 2026. She also took her promo game to new heights with an armadillo costume stunt - because why not? And just last month, she delivered a show-stopping rendition of 'Dry Spell' at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Kacey's UK following is every bit as passionate as her US fanbase, and they'll be keeping a close eye on developments in the coming weeks. Will this setback signal a change of plans for the rest of the tour? Only time will tell - but one thing's for sure: Kacey Musgraves has got a lot to offer, and fans won't let these cancellations get them down.
