We’ve got big things coming: Lady Gaga, Nine Inch Nails (again), Mac DeMarco and Doja Cat are just some of the biggest shows we’re looking forward to this year. Not to mention all of the local shows we’ve got penciled in for nearly every weekend on our calendars. However, just days into 2026, we’ve already had to cancel a few concerts, and we still have tickets from last year that are awaiting an official rescheduling date.
There are many reasons why a band or artist may cancel their shows, or at least, lots of reasons they say they’re canceling shows. Sometimes it’s an injury, other times it’s economic and travel issues, but more often than not, it’s low ticket sales. No matter the reason, it’s a major bummer for the rest of us.
We’re not here to speculate; we’re just here to inform you of who’s no longer coming and who has yet to reschedule their return after a canceled show last year. We have no crystal ball, so cross your fingers and hope the list doesn’t get any longer this year.
Concerts Cancelled or Postponed in 2026:
PlayStation: The Concert
In celebration of its 30-year history, PlayStation announced a live orchestral performance of some of its most well-known soundtracks, accompanied by a companion immersive visual experience. The show, which was scheduled for March 5 at the Will Rogers Auditorium in Fort Worth, was canceled.
JUNTOS, Jorge Medina and Josi Cuen
Several Latin American artists have been forced to cancel legs of their tours in the United States for visa issues. In the summer of 2025, most of the JUNTOS collaboration tour between Jorge Medina and Josi Cuen was postponed, including a show at Dos Equis Pavilion. Some shows have been rescheduled for this year, including concerts in Laredo and Edinburg, but Dallas, Houston and San Antonio have not received rescheduled dates.
Secret Love Tour, Dry Cleaning
Post-punk English rock band Dry Cleaning was set to bring an intimate show to the Texas Theatre. The band, citing economic constraints, was forced to reschedule their shows, dropping Dallas from the lineup.
“We have had to make the difficult decision to move our Jan/Feb ‘26 US tour to May,” the band wrote on social media. “This is due to a number of factors not least of which the increasingly hostile economic forces that govern touring in the present day.”
There has been no indication that a Dallas show would be rescheduled.
2025 Concerts Pending Rescheduling:
4218 Tour Julión Álvarez
Mexican singer Julión Álvarez was forced to postpone his May 2025 sold-out show at AT&T Stadium when his work visa was revoked. The show, which sold 50,000 tickets, was set to be rescheduled; however, a new date has not yet been announced.
“We have no way of entering the United States and fulfilling our commitment to all of you. This situation is out of our hands — this is the information I have and what I can share with all of you,” the artist said in the video announcing the postponement.
I’m Still Shinin’ Tour 4Batz
Local rapper 4Batz was set to embark on a nationwide tour, with a November concert on home turf at the House of Blues Dallas. The entire tour was canceled with no official statement ever released.
Sex Pistols
The Sex Pistols were about to make a heavily anticipated return to the Longhorn Ballroom, 47 years after a notorious show involving former bassist Sid Vicious playing through a waterfall of a nosebleed while the crowd launched beer bottles and anger at the punk band. The 2025 show was postponed after guitarist Steve Jones broke his wrist. The tour has not been rescheduled.
