HARDY has canceled the upcoming European leg of his Jim Bob World Tour.
On Monday (June 16), HARDY shared a post on social media, stating, “It wasn’t an easy decision but one I had to make for my band, crew and my family. Please know that I love you all and I will be back as soon as I can.”
The European leg of HARDY’s Jim Bob World Tour was slated to run June 19-July 3, starting with a show Copenhell Festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. The trek was to also include shows in Belgium, Ireland, the U.K. and the Netherlands. The statement noted that refunds for the shows will be provided at fans’ point of purchase.
His Jim Bob World Tour launched May 22 with a show in Chula Vista, California. Currently, the next tour date listed for the singer-songwriter on his official website is a stop at Country Thunder Wisconsin on July 18, followed by several more stateside shows on his Jim Bob Tour, with stops in Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Alabama, Mississippi and more, concluding with a show Sept. 24 at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Billboard reached out to representatives for HARDY for comment regarding the canceled tour dates.
The Jim Bob World Tour takes its name from a single on HARDY’s 2024 album Quit!! That album included the singles “Rockstar,” “Psycho,” “Jim Bob” and “Six Feet Under (Caleigh’s Song).”
In addition to touring and releasing new music this year, HARDY also saw new milestones in his personal life, as HARDY and his wife Caleigh welcomed their first child, daughter Rosie Ryan Hardy, in March.
