Kiefer Sutherland Cancels U.S. Tour Leg Over Very Low Ticket Sales

The move highlights a growing wave of U.S. tour pullbacks linked to weak demand known as “blue dot fever.”

Overview

  • Sutherland, who disclosed Friday on Instagram, canceled the U.S. leg of his Love Will Bring You Home tour after saying sales were too weak to justify half-empty rooms.
  • Ticket buyers will receive refunds from their point of purchase, according to his statement.
  • He finished the European run this week and is carrying on with scheduled shows in the U.K. and Ireland.
  • His fourth album, Grey, is due May 29 on Maple Creek Records, and the U.S. dates had been planned to support it.
  • Coverage tied the decision to “blue dot fever,” a term for visible unsold seats on ticket maps, as more artists trim U.S. dates and average primary ticket prices rose from about $96 in 2019 to about $136 in 2024, per Pollstar.
