The band will no longer embark on its late summer and fall run
Six weeks after announcing a 2025 headlining tour, the Steve Miller Band has canceled the run. The rockers shared the news via social media, citing weather concerns as the main factor.
“You make music with your instincts
“You live your life by your instincts
“Always trust your instincts…
“The Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour dates.
“The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. So…
“You can blame it on the weather…The tour is cancelled.
“Don’t know where, don’t know when… We hope to see you all again,” they write.
The group was slated to kick off a months-long run beginning on August 15th in Bethel, New York. It was slated to wrap on November 8th in Anaheim, California.
Refund details weren’t disclosed but tickets are generally refunded automatically when shows are canceled.
Miller has been a monumental presence on the American music scene for more than half a century. With hit songs like “The Joker,” “Take the Money and Run,” “Rock’n Me” and “Jet Airliner,” his releases have sold tens of millions of records and been streamed billions of times. Miller’s Greatest Hits 1974-78 received the RIAA diamond Award with sales of more than 15 million copies and is among the 25 best-selling albums of all time. Miller was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022. 2024 saw the Steve Miller Band play to nearly a million fans on successful tours, including with Journey and Def Leppard, as well as a return to the top of the charts for “Abracadabra” via its prominent feature in Eminem’s hit single “Houdini.”
