Julien Baker Cancels Tour With Torres: ‘Prioritizing Her Well-Being’

“This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment this may cause for fans. We deeply appreciate your understanding,” duo says

Julien Baker and Torres have canceled the remainder of their tour in support of new album Send a Prayer My Way, the duo announced Sunday.

“Due to recent events, Julien Baker is prioritizing her well-being and taking time to focus on her health,” read a statement posted on Baker’s Instagram. “Therefore, the Julien Baker & Torres ‘Send A Prayer My Way’ Tour has been canceled. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment this may cause for fans. We deeply appreciate your understanding.”

The duo’s tour kicked off April 23 in Richmond and was scheduled to run through Sept. 13. In addition to their standalone shows, they booked gigs at festivals like Utah’s Kilby Block Party, Oregon’s Pickathon, the Newport Folk Festival, San Francisco’s Outside Lands, Milwaukee’s Summerfest, and Louisville’s Bourbon and Beyond Fest.

Baker and Torres played a sold-out show Thursday, May 1 at New Orleans’ Tipitinas, and were next scheduled to perform Sunday night in San Antonio before the trek was nixed.

While Baker did not elaborate on the “recent events” that sparked the tour’s cancelation, just three days ago on Instagram, Baker shared a performance video with the caption, “Getting to play these songs for y’all has been unbelievably fun… Keep an eye out for more tour news soon.”

Baker’s Instagram added Sunday, “Refunds and ticketing information will be provided by the original point of purchase. Thank you for your continued support and compassion.”
