Colter Wall has canceled his 2026 tour amid mental health turmoil.
The country and folk singer announced on Instagram on March 11 that he was canceling all remaining performances on his Memories and Empties Tour, saying he was “taking an indefinite hiatus from live music.”
“The truth is, I’m mentally unwell. Despite this, I’ve been pushing myself to continue touring. As a result, my mental health has only worsened,” he said.
The Canadian musician assured ticket holders that their tickets would be automatically refunded.
“Myself, band, and crew are so grateful for the privilege of playing music together for you all. We are grateful,” he wrote. “Thank you for your understanding and support.”
Mr. Wall, 30, began his tour in Austin on January 16, with stops in Texas as well as San Diego, Albuquerque and St. Louis. Two performances in Fort Worth, Texas, in mid-January were also canceled due to extreme weather caused by a winter storm in North Texas.
All scheduled events in Indianapolis on March 11th and 12th, Cincinnati on March 13th, and Detroit on March 14th have all been cancelled.
The tour was in support of his fifth studio classic country album, Memories and Empties, which promoters said “conveys the spirit of artists like Merle Haggard with swinging pedal steel, rich storytelling, and Wall’s unmistakable baritone.”
Known for his earthy country and unique baritone voice, Wall entered the genre with his 2015 EP Imaginary Appalachia and his 2017 debut self-titled album Colter Wall.
