Kacey Musgraves has canceled three dates from her upcoming Middle of Nowhere tour, including what had been scheduled as the trek’s opening night.

The canceled shows include the Aug. 20 performance at United Center in Chicago, the Aug. 29 show at TD Garden in Boston and the Sept. 2 concert at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Fans were notified of the cancellations via emails from Ticketmaster, according to multiple reports and social media posts.

“Please be advised that the Kacey Musgraves concert scheduled for Saturday, August 29, 2026 at TD Garden has been canceled,” one fan’s notice read, according to a screenshot shared on Reddit. “All tickets will be automatically refunded to fans at their original point of purchase. Please allow 7-10 business days for refunds to process.”

No reason has been given for the cancellations. Musgraves has not publicly addressed the changes, and no explanation has been posted to her official social media accounts.

The affected cities were all scheduled to host multiple Musgraves shows, and tickets for alternate dates in Chicago, Boston and New York remain available. The Middle of Nowhere tour is still scheduled to begin in Chicago on Aug. 21, according to Ticketmaster’s tour listing.

The tour supports Musgraves’ latest album, Middle of Nowhere, released May 1. The project follows 2024’s Deeper Well and includes the singles “Dry Spell” and “Mexico Honey.” Earlier this week, Musgraves released the video for “Mexico Honey,” which features the singer performing the track in a karaoke-bar setting.

Middle of Nowhere debuted in the top 10 across seven Billboard charts dated May 16, including three No. 1 bows. The album opened at No. 1 on Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums and Indie Store Album Sales, while also arriving at No. 2 on Top Country Albums and Americana/Folk Albums, No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and No. 10 on Top Streaming Albums.

The project launched with 100,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending May 7, marking Musgraves’ best week ever by units. Vinyl accounted for a little more than 37,000 of that total, also giving Musgraves her best sales week on vinyl. “Dry Spell” peaked at No. 15 on Hot Country Songs in March. On Top Album Sales, Middle of Nowhere marked Musgraves’ third No. 1, following Deeper Well in 2024 and Star-Crossed in 2021.

Billie Joe Armstrong has turned two pillars of his Green Day sound into new signature gear. The frontman has announced a limited-edition Radiant Red Epiphone Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior, along with his first artist signature amplifier with Marshall, the 1959BJA Artist Signature.

Both releases nod to the stripped-down, high-impact guitar tone Armstrong has used across decades of Green Day songs, from the band’s 1994 breakthrough Dookie through its more recent stadium-scale era.

The new Epiphone model features a bright red finish, similar to Armstrong’s Les Paul Junior, while maintaining a deliberately simple setup. The guitar features a single P-90 PRO pickup, master volume and tone controls, and a Lightning Bar wraparound bridge — a no-frills build in line with Armstrong’s long-running punk approach.

The guitar also includes a reproduction of Armstrong’s signature on the back of the headstock and comes with a custom black hardshell case with a leopard-print interior.

Armstrong’s new Marshall amp, meanwhile, marks the company’s first artist signature model in 14 years. The baby-blue 1959BJA Artist Signature is based on Marshall’s handwired 1959HW platform and includes a custom “Dookie Mod,” inspired by the guitar tone Armstrong developed with producer Rob Cavallo during the making of Dookie.

The amp’s look also reaches back into Armstrong’s own mythology. Its baby-blue covering is a tribute to “Blue,” the heavily stickered Fernandes guitar that became one of his most recognizable instruments during Green Day’s early years.

“I’m so overjoyed to have my own signature Marshall amp,” Armstrong said in a statement. “These amps have been a part of my musical life, from my heroes down to little old me. Turn it the f— up!”

The gear news arrives during another busy stretch for Green Day. Earlier this month, the band announced the soundtrack to its upcoming coming-of-age comedy Nimrods, due July 31. The 22-track set includes career-spanning favorites, four previously unreleased live recordings from the Hollywood Palladium and a new song, “I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.”

Armstrong has also been back onstage with his covers band, The Coverups. At recent shows, he was joined by Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson for David Bowie’s “All The Young Dudes,” and the group also covered Nirvana’s “Drain You,” which Armstrong dedicated to late L7 bassist Jennifer Finch.

Green Day released its most recent studio album, Saviors, in January 2024. The album continued the band’s long-running Billboard presence following a catalog that includes Dookie, American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown and Revolution Radio.
