Hardy cancels entire European tour
Country-rock artist Hardy has canceled all upcoming European dates on his Jim Bob Tour, just days ahead of its planned kickoff on June 19 in Copenhagen.
In a statement shared via social media, Hardy cited personal reasons behind the decision: “I have decided to cancel the European leg of the Jim Bob Tour. It wasn’t an easy decision but one I had to make for my band, crew and my family,” he wrote. “Please know that I love you all and I will be back as soon as I can.”
The artist was set to appear at several major European festivals and venues, including Copenhell in Denmark, Pinkpop in the Netherlands, Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, and a headline show at Melkweg in Amsterdam. Additional UK and Ireland dates were scheduled at O2 Academy venues in Birmingham, Glasgow, and London, as well as stops in Manchester, Belfast, and Dublin. Venues ranged in capacity from 2,000 to 5,000.
Hardy previously postponed several North American dates in 2023 due to what he described as “serious anxiety” stemming from a 2022 tour bus accident.
