Overview
- Kelly announced in early July that he was cancelling his planned September 2026 nine-date solo tour because overall ticket sales were too low, but he will still perform a Rostock “homecoming” show on 19 September.
- He delivered the news in a visibly emotional Instagram video and written statement in which he said the decision was painful and that he had recorded the message several times before posting it.
- Fans who already bought tickets were told to contact the original ticket vendors for refunds and to await further information from those providers.
- Kelly said he will treat the setback as a lesson and concentrate on festival appearances over the next two to three years to rebuild a live audience step by step.
- Industry coverage links the cancellation to a broader trend of mid‑tier acts trimming or cancelling dates because high fixed production costs make shows untenable without strong advance sales.
