Steve Miller has announced the cancellation of his entire 2025 tour, citing extreme weather conditions as the reason for this decision. He emphasized the impact of heat, flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires on safety for the audience, the band, and crew members. Miller expressed uncertainty about future performances, stating he does not know when or where they might resume. Other musicians, like Chrissie Hynde, share similar concerns regarding global warming's implications on outdoor events and touring.
You make music with your instincts. You live 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.
Chrissie Hynde echoed a similar concern last month about global warming and its effect on touring musicians, writing 'outdoor events are going to come to an end' because it's 'too hot' to perform.
Don't know when, don't know where. We hope to see you all again.
