6LACK Tour Cancelled? What We Know About the 2026 Shows
Updated August 27, 2026
6LACK’s “10 Years of 6LACK Tour” has been hit by a wave of cancellations across Europe, the UK and North America, leaving fans searching for answers. But there is an important twist: there has been no clear public announcement from 6LACK explaining why the shows are being cancelled, and ticketing platforms are currently showing conflicting information about some remaining dates.
The cancellations began appearing on ticketing platforms on August 26, with fans reporting cancellation emails and individual shows being switched to “Cancelled” status.
The situation has quickly created confusion because some official venue and Ticketmaster pages show cancellations while other Live Nation, venue and artist listings still display certain concerts as upcoming.
So, has 6LACK cancelled his entire 2026 tour?
Not definitively.
What is confirmed is that a substantial number of shows have been cancelled. What remains unclear is why, whether every date will ultimately be cancelled and whether the remaining listings will be honoured.
What happened to the 6LACK tour?
6LACK announced the “10 Years of 6LACK Tour” in May 2026, shortly after releasing his fourth studio album, Love Is The New Gangsta.
The tour was announced as a 44-date global run celebrating a decade of music, beginning in Europe before moving to the UK and then North America. Johnny Venus was announced as support in Europe and the UK, while Eem Triplin was attached to the North American dates.
The concept was significant for 6LACK because the tour was intended to mark 10 years since his debut album, FREE 6LACK, and revisit music from across his career.
But on August 26, fans began reporting that their shows had been cancelled.
One Reddit discussion about the cancellations quickly attracted hundreds of votes, with fans posting that they had received cancellation emails and asking what had happened.
Is the entire 6LACK tour cancelled?
Not officially confirmed.
This is the most important distinction in the story.
A number of shows are clearly marked Cancelled on Ticketmaster and Live Nation pages. However, other official pages continue to list 6LACK shows as available.
For example, Ticketmaster’s current US listings still show the October 21 Portland concert at McMenamins Crystal Ballroom with a “Find Tickets” option.
Ticketmaster’s Canadian listings also continue to show Toronto and Ottawa dates, although individual event pages and other Ticketmaster search results have shown conflicting statuses at different times.
That means the situation should currently be described as widespread tour cancellations, rather than a confirmed cancellation of every date.
Why are the listings so confusing?
The ticketing data appears to be updating at different speeds.
For example, Live Nation’s UK page for the London show explicitly says the October 1 concert has been cancelled and that there are no plans to reschedule it. The same page lists Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham as cancelled.
Yet Ticketmaster’s broader UK artist page has, at times, continued to display some of those same dates with “Find Tickets.”
Ticketmaster itself warns that its tour information can change and directs fans to the artist’s website for the most up-to-date information.
For that reason, the status of an individual show should be checked directly with the ticket seller or venue before travelling.
Which 6LACK shows have been cancelled?
The clearest cancellations are appearing across the European and UK routing.
Ticketmaster Ireland currently marks the following dates as cancelled:
- September 8 — Oslo, Norway
- September 9 — Stockholm, Sweden
- September 10 — Copenhagen, Denmark
- September 12 — Warsaw, Poland
- September 13 — Berlin, Germany
- September 16 — Cologne, Germany
- September 19 — Frankfurt, Germany
- September 20 — Zürich, Switzerland
- September 29 — Dublin, Ireland
Ticketmaster’s international listings show those dates with cancellation notices.
The Frankfurt/central European routing is also reflected on Live Nation Germany, which lists Frankfurt, Berlin, Cologne and Zürich as cancelled.
UK cancellations
The UK situation is clearer.
Live Nation UK’s official event page currently states that the following shows have been cancelled:
- September 25 — Bristol, O2 Academy Bristol
- September 27 — Manchester, Manchester Academy
- October 1 — London, O2 Academy Brixton
- October 2 — Birmingham, O2 Academy Birmingham
For London, Live Nation specifically states that the show has been cancelled and that there are no plans to reschedule it. It also says ticket holders will receive a full refund from the place where they purchased their tickets.
Ticketmaster UK independently shows the London show as cancelled.
Dublin show cancelled
The Dublin date is also showing as cancelled through Ticketmaster.
The September 29 concert at 3Olympia Theatre is listed as cancelled on Ticketmaster Ireland, adding another UK-and-Ireland date to the growing list of affected shows.
This matters because it shows the cancellations are not limited to one promoter, city or venue.
North American shows are also affected
The cancellations have reached the North American leg that was scheduled to begin in October.
Ticketmaster’s current help pages still describe the North American run as a 25-show itinerary, but individual listings are changing as cancellations are processed.
Among the dates that have appeared as cancelled on Ticketmaster listings are shows in markets including:
- Sacramento
- San Francisco
- Las Vegas
- Anaheim
- Los Angeles
- Phoenix
- Denver
- Austin
- Dallas
- Houston
- New Orleans
- Philadelphia
- Charlotte
- Raleigh
- Detroit
- Minneapolis
However, because the ticketing information is changing, USC is not treating every date on that list as permanently cancelled unless the individual event listing confirms it.
That distinction is important in a developing story.
What about Toronto and Ottawa?
The Canadian dates demonstrate just how quickly the information is changing.
Ticketmaster Canada currently lists the December 4 Toronto show and December 6 Ottawa show as upcoming, while Ticketmaster search results have also shown the Toronto event as cancelled.
The venue’s own HISTORY Toronto page was also still displaying the December 4 concert as on sale when checked.
Live Nation’s Toronto event page similarly continues to show the December 4 concert.
This is exactly why fans should not assume a show is cancelled simply because another 6LACK date has been cancelled.
Check the specific event page connected to your ticket purchase.
6LACK has not publicly explained the cancellations
The biggest unanswered question is why the shows were cancelled.
As of August 27, there is no publicly indexed statement from 6LACK explaining the cancellation wave.
His official website still has the tour page online, including the original presale and general-sale information.
His official website also continues to link to his Instagram and X accounts.
Importantly, we have not found an official statement from 6LACK, his management or Live Nation giving a reason for the cancellations.
That means several theories circulating online should remain theories.
Are low ticket sales behind the cancellations?
Fans think so — but it has not been confirmed.
Low ticket sales are currently one of the biggest theories circulating among fans.
In the Reddit discussion that followed the cancellation emails, some commenters immediately suggested poor ticket sales. Others said they had already bought tickets and were shocked that their shows were cancelled.
One fan said they had already booked travel and a hotel for a December show. Another said they had expected ticket sales to be doing better.
There was also disagreement over whether the new album had generated enough momentum to support such a large tour.
But none of that establishes the reason.
Neither 6LACK nor Live Nation has publicly confirmed that low ticket sales caused the cancellations.
Until an official explanation is released, USC will not present low sales as fact.
Fans are asking questions
The fan reaction has been noticeably confused rather than simply angry.
Many fans say they discovered the cancellation through emails from ticketing companies rather than through a major announcement from 6LACK.
The Reddit discussion included fans asking whether the entire tour had been cancelled, while others reported that their specific cities had disappeared or been marked cancelled on Ticketmaster.
Some fans were particularly frustrated because they had already paid for hotels and travel.
Others questioned why some cities appeared cancelled while others remained on sale.
There was also criticism from fans who felt the artist should have addressed the situation directly.
At the same time, some fans pushed back against the criticism and said people should wait for an official explanation before blaming 6LACK.
That split is important: there is significant fan speculation, but there is not yet a confirmed explanation.
The Live Nation angle
Live Nation is particularly relevant because the 2026 tour was announced as a Live Nation-produced tour.
The company’s UK listings now provide some of the clearest confirmation of the cancellations.
Live Nation UK’s London event page explicitly says:
- the London concert is cancelled;
- Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham are also listed as cancelled;
- there are no plans to reschedule the London concert;
- ticket holders will receive a full refund through their original ticket seller.
However, Live Nation’s broader 6LACK artist page has also continued to display numerous dates as upcoming, illustrating the same updating problem seen across ticketing platforms.
So Live Nation’s individual event pages are currently more useful than relying on the artist’s broad tour listing alone.
The 2026 tour was supposed to be a major comeback
The cancellations are notable because this wasn’t presented as a small club run.
When announced in May, the “10 Years of 6LACK Tour” was positioned as a global celebration of the artist’s career.
The tour was designed around the 10-year anniversary of FREE 6LACK, with a set expected to cover music from his debut through East Atlanta Love Letter, Since I Have A Lover and the new Love Is The New Gangsta.
The announcement came after the release of Love Is The New Gangsta, making the tour both a career retrospective and a live introduction to his latest era.
That makes the sudden cancellation wave particularly significant for fans who bought tickets specifically for that concept.
What happens to fans who bought tickets?
For shows officially marked cancelled, fans should generally receive refunds through the original ticketing provider.
Live Nation UK’s London notice says ticket holders will receive a full refund from the place where they purchased their tickets and that their ticket agent will contact them.
Ticketmaster’s event system also provides refund and event-update information for cancelled shows.
Fans should not automatically buy another ticket or book replacement travel until their original event status is confirmed.
If your show has been cancelled:
- Check the email address used when buying the ticket.
- Check your Ticketmaster account or original ticket provider.
- Check the venue’s official website.
- Look for a cancellation or refund notice.
- Keep records of your ticket purchase and any refund communication.

Why the story is moving so quickly
This appears to be a case where different parts of the live-event ecosystem are updating at different times.
The artist’s official tour page still exists.
Live Nation’s broad artist page continues to display many shows.
At the same time, individual Ticketmaster pages are showing cancellations, including London and Toronto.
That explains why fans can look at two official pages and get two different answers.
The individual event listing is currently the most important source for determining whether a particular concert is still happening.
So, why was the 6LACK tour cancelled?
There is no confirmed public reason yet.
Low ticket sales are the leading theory among some fans, but there is currently no evidence strong enough to report that as the official explanation.
Other possibilities could theoretically include production, scheduling, financial or logistical issues, but there is no public evidence establishing any of those either.
Until 6LACK, his management, Live Nation or another official organiser explains what happened, the responsible answer is simply:
We know many shows have been cancelled. We do not yet know why.
The bottom line
6LACK’s 2026 “10 Years of 6LACK Tour” is facing widespread cancellations, but the entire tour has not been officially confirmed as cancelled.
The strongest evidence currently comes from individual Ticketmaster and Live Nation event listings, several of which have switched to Cancelled status.
The UK situation is especially clear, with Live Nation confirming cancellations in London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham and saying the London show has no plans for rescheduling.
Across Europe, Ticketmaster is also showing cancellations in cities including Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Zürich and Dublin.
Meanwhile, some North American and Canadian dates are still being displayed as available, although the ticketing information is changing.
And that’s the biggest unanswered question surrounding the story:
Why did 6LACK’s tour suddenly start disappearing from ticketing platforms?
For now, fans have theories — particularly around ticket sales — but no official explanation has been announced.
USC will update this story if 6LACK, his management, Live Nation, Ticketmaster or the affected venues provide a reason for the cancellations or announce what happens to the remaining dates.
