Kacey Musgraves Cancels Three ‘Middle of Nowhere’ Tour Dates

Kacey Musgraves has canceled three dates from her upcoming Middle of Nowhere tour, including what had been scheduled as the trek’s opening night.

The canceled shows include the Aug. 20 performance at United Center in Chicago, the Aug. 29 show at TD Garden in Boston and the Sept. 2 concert at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Fans were notified of the cancellations via emails from Ticketmaster, according to multiple reports and social media posts.

“Please be advised that the Kacey Musgraves concert scheduled for Saturday, August 29, 2026 at TD Garden has been canceled,” one fan’s notice read, according to a screenshot shared on Reddit. “All tickets will be automatically refunded to fans at their original point of purchase. Please allow 7-10 business days for refunds to process.”

No reason has been given for the cancellations. Musgraves has not publicly addressed the changes, and no explanation has been posted to her official social media accounts.

The affected cities were all scheduled to host multiple Musgraves shows, and tickets for alternate dates in Chicago, Boston and New York remain available. The Middle of Nowhere tour is still scheduled to begin in Chicago on Aug. 21, according to Ticketmaster’s tour listing.

The tour supports Musgraves’ latest album, Middle of Nowhere, released May 1. The project follows 2024’s Deeper Well and includes the singles “Dry Spell” and “Mexico Honey.” Earlier this week, Musgraves released the video for “Mexico Honey,” which features the singer performing the track in a karaoke-bar setting.

Middle of Nowhere debuted in the top 10 across seven Billboard charts dated May 16, including three No. 1 bows. The album opened at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums and Indie Store Album Sales, while also arriving at No. 2 on Top Country Albums and Americana/Folk Albums, No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and No. 10 on Top Streaming Albums.

The project launched with 100,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending May 7, marking Musgraves’ best week ever by units. Vinyl accounted for a little more than 37,000 of that total, also giving Musgraves her best sales week on vinyl. “Dry Spell” peaked at No. 15 on Hot Country Songs in March. On Top Album Sales, Middle of Nowhere marked Musgraves’ third No. 1, following Deeper Well in 2024 and Star-Crossed in 2021.
