Kacey Musgraves has dropped three dates from her upcoming Middle of Nowhere Tour, including what would have been the tour’s opening night, with no explanation offered as of Sunday, July 26.
Musgraves unveiled her 2026 touring plans in April, with the Middle of Nowhere Tour originally spanning 34 shows across 25 North American cities. The sudden removal of three major market stops has left fans without tickets — and without answers — as the run approaches.
The Canceled Dates
Three high-profile shows are off the schedule: August 20 at the United Center in Chicago, August 29 at TD Garden in Boston, and September 2 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Ticketmaster notified affected ticket holders via email. Screenshots shared on Reddit show the notices stated that all tickets would be automatically refunded to the original payment method within seven to ten business days.
Tour and Album Context
The Middle of Nowhere Tour is tied to Musgraves’ latest album of the same name, which includes tracks “Dry Spell,” “Mexico Honey,” and “Horses and Divorces,” the latter a collaboration with Miranda Lambert. The Chicago date would have served as the tour’s opening night, making its cancellation particularly notable.
As of Sunday, July 26, neither Musgraves nor her team had publicly addressed the cancellations or offered any reason for the changes, leaving ticketholders and fans waiting for clarity ahead of the tour’s remaining dates.
