Slayyyter cancels UK and European tour dates due to illness
Slayyyter has cancelled the remaining dates of her 2026 UK and European tour due to illness.
The US pop artist has been out on the road in Europe this month in support of her third studio album, ‘Wor$t Girl In America’, which was released in March.
Following recent gigs in Paris, Amsterdam and Cologne, she took to Instagram Stories yesterday (Friday October 23) to notify fans that the rest of the tour had been axed.
“Hey guys. I am heartbroken to share after multiple doctor visits I have laryngitis and vocal cord tears and have been ordered to go on medication and full vocal rest for at least two weeks,” Slayyyter wrote.

The singer-songwriter went on to confirm that she and her team were currently looking at rescheduling the impacted dates for next year, adding: “I hope to have news to share very soon to make it up to you.”
She continued: “I know how much time and effort is spent to come out to a show. Some of you have travelled, some of you have made costumes, and I am completely devastated to not be able to give you the shows you were planning for.
“We are working hard to figure out a time to return so I can deliver an even bigger and better show for you all. I hope you know I will make this up to you. Lots of love to you all. Thank you for making this tour so special.”
Slayyyter had been scheduled to play in Berlin, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow next week, before heading to London for a show at London’s Roundhouse on November 5.
The support act for the tour, French artist Kalika, took to X/Twitter to tell fans she had been left stranded in Europe.
She wrote (translated from French): “Obviously Slayyyter’s health comes first and I wish her a quick recovery. But here we are abroad, our gear is stuck in the tour bus, we don’t even know how to get it back or how we’re going to get home. My heart is in pieces.”
The singer said she had found out that the performances had been cancelled from Slayyyter’s Instagram Story. “I’m in tears, completely devastated,” she added. “I don’t think you can imagine what this tour meant to me. It was probably the biggest opportunity of my career.”

Slayyyter recently released the single ‘I Think He’s Got A Girl’ from her upcoming fourth album ‘Wor$t Man In America’, out on December 4. The LP’s predecessor earned a four-star review from NME, and was subsequently named one of our best records of 2026 so far.
“Chasing the highs of her Tumblr-addled youth, Slayyyter finds her sound in a new strain of brash, sleazy pop, [which] finds salvation in the underbelly of American cinema,” the review read.
NME caught Slayyyter on the main stage at Reading Festival this summer, and gave the performance a glowing four-and-a-half-star review. The slot was hailed as one of “the most magical moments” from Reading & Leeds 2026, too.
