UK Venues Drop Misfits Alum Michale Graves as Tour Plans Unravel Over Proud Boys Ties

Ticket listings point to widespread cancellations, leaving one Worcester date unresolved.

Overview

  • The ticketing platform Skiddle shows all UK dates for Michale Graves as canceled, even as The Marrs Bar in Worcester still lists a sold-out show and declined to comment.
  • London venues The Engine Rooms and The Underworld Camden said Graves will not travel to the UK and that his backing band will perform a Misfits set as Karaokillers.
  • Worcester councillor Neil Laurenson urged venues to cancel over Graves’ far-right associations and said he would boycott The Marrs Bar if it hosted the show.
  • Graves posted on Instagram that his concerts center on music and community, stating he does not promote violence or hatred and urging peaceful disagreement.
  • The pushback traces to Graves’ 2020 endorsement of the Proud Boys and his testimony that he performed for members on January 6, which critics cite in calls to drop his shows.
