'80s Star and Cult-Classic Leading Man Cancels Tour: ‘I Don't Think It's Fair'
Kiefer Sutherland is an '80s film icon, known for his roles in coming-of-age films like Stand by Me and cult classics like The Lost Boys. He's still making movies, too, along with music, having recently released his fourth album, Grey.
To promote the new music, Sutherland was scheduled for a US leg of his Love Will Bring You Home tour in June and July 2026, kicking off in Patchogue, New York, and ending with a show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Unfortunately, those shows have now been canceled after Sutherland was unable to drum up enough ticket sales to fill his venues. On Friday, May 15, the actor, who plays a blend of Americana, country, and classic rock, shared the news with fans with an Instagram post on his official account, with a caption that read, "See kiefersutherland.com for all upcoming gigs."
The post itself was just words and read, "With great disappointment, I am going to have to cancel the US leg of my tour due to very low ticket sales. I don't think it's fair to the people who have bought tickets, or the venues, to play to half empty houses."
He continued, "I look forward to touring the United States again at a more suitable time. I hope you understand. Sincerely, Kiefer Sutherland. (Refunds will be available from point of purchase)."
Sutherland's cancellation news mirrored a message shared from another group recently forced to cancel the US leg of their tour for the same reason. Less than two weeks ago, The Pussycat Dolls dropped all but one date from the US leg of their tour because of lackluster ticket sales.
Other bands, including the Psychedelic Furs, Living Colour, Zayn Malik, Post Malone, Meghan Trainor, and Dolly Parton, have canceled several US shows for various reasons.
