Brandi Carlile, the acclaimed Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, has announced the postponement of her highly anticipated U.K. and European tour dates, originally scheduled for autumn 2026. The new dates will now take place in spring 2027, a change prompted by personal circumstances that she has described as “profoundly anxious.”

In an emotional Instagram post on Friday, August 7, the 45-year-old artist addressed her fans directly, expressing her reluctance to alter the tour schedule but emphasising the need for the rescheduling. “I need to let you know that due to personal circumstances, I have no choice but to reschedule my UK and European tour from this fall to the spring,” she stated in her message.

Aware of the potential disappointment her announcement may bring, particularly for international fans who may have made travel plans, Carlile extended her heartfelt apologies. She remarked, “I have been so profoundly anxious about this decision, and I’m aware that this change may be disappointing and inconvenient for many of you.”

Despite the far-reaching impact of her decision, Carlile assured fans that her team had been diligently working to minimise disruption during the rescheduling process. She noted that while several venues and dates have been altered, there was one performance in Lisbon that unfortunately could not be accommodated in the new schedule. “I’m so sorry, and I promise we will do everything in our power to get back to you as soon as we can,” she explained.
Fans eager to secure refunds or find the updated tour information can visit Carlile’s official website, where additional details about the revised schedule are available. The new U.K. and European dates for the Human Tour will now occur during March and April 2027, a change that necessitates adjustments for many supporters.
Brandi Carlile’s message was not solely one of regret; she also expressed hope for the future, indicating her desire to see her fans across the pond. “Thank you so much for your patience and understanding,” she expressed. “I want nothing more than to see my friends across the pond, and I have done everything in my power to avoid rescheduling this tour. I sincerely hope you’ll all come back and see me in the spring. I promise I will make it up to you and that it will be worth the wait!”
The U.K. and European leg of the Human Tour was initially set to occur in October and November 2026, but the shift has now pushed those dates back to early 2027. For fans who remain eager to see Carlile perform live, the updated dates are expected to be exciting, and her promise to deliver a memorable experience resonates deeply.
Currently, Carlile is in the midst of her North American leg of the Human Tour, which commenced earlier this year in February. She is scheduled to perform a series of concerts across the United States until the end of September. Additionally, her latest album, titled Returning to Myself, debuted in October 2025, further showcasing her dedication to her craft.
Fans in the U.K. and Europe will need to exercise patience as they await the chance to experience Carlile’s dynamic performances, but the artist remains committed to making the rescheduled shows worthwhile. As more information unfolds regarding the logistical details of the postponed tour, there is no doubt that enthusiasm amongst her audience remains high.
