Steve Miller Band Cancels 2025 Tour Over Weather Risks

The Steve Miller Band has canceled its entire 31-date U.S. tour scheduled from August to November 2025, citing unacceptable risks from extreme weather conditions such as heat, flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires. The band attributed their decision to the increasing unpredictability and severity of weather fueled by climate change, making touring unsafe for fans, band members, and crew. Ticket holders will receive refunds automatically or at the point of purchase, and venues are working to book replacement acts for the affected dates. The decision, one of the first major tour cancellations explicitly due to climate concerns, has sparked mixed reactions from fans. The announcement comes during a year of record-breaking heat and severe weather events across the U.S., which have already disrupted other concerts and festivals. Scientists note that climate change is driving more frequent and intense weather, complicating event planning for outdoor performances.
