Why did FKA Twigs cancel her North American tour? Reasons explained

FKA Twigs officially postponed her North American tour dates after experiencing visa issues. The British singer posted on social media that the required paperwork wasn't completed on time, hence not allowing her to acquire the necessary visas to tour in the United States.

The canceled shows were all in big cities such as Chicago, Toronto, and New York. They were all part of her EUSEXUA tour, her third album of the same name promotion. Twigs was not happy and promised that she would try her best to sort out the issues and come up with a solution for upcoming performances.

The reported reason: Visa delay

The primary reason for the delay is visa delays. FKA Twigs clarified that her production team failed to finish and submit the necessary documents within the required time. As per Billboard, she said:

"Today I was informed that production did not fill out the correct paperwork in a timely manner for us to have our visas to come to the USA and perform, So that means by no choice of my own I will have to pull out of my New York, Chicago, and Toronto shows."

Due to this, she was unable to obtain the necessary visas for the North American concerts.

Visa issues are a normal part of the music industry because foreign performers are likely to encounter bureaucratic issues while planning tours. Application timing and the degree of difficulty in obtaining performance-related visas decide planned events.

In a couple of instances, minor bureaucratic snags suffice to bring cataclysmic disruption, especially for communities that have mammoth tours and require multiple clearances.

The canceled performances included:

Chicago, Illinois (March 26–27, 2025); Toronto, Canada (March 30–31, 2025); and Queens, New York (April 3–4, 2025)

Previous postponements in Europe

This isn't the first time FKA Twigs has changed tour dates. As reported by Variety, she previously canceled shows in Berlin and Prague due to "shipping issues" as part of her Eusexua tour.

These shows were later rescheduled to May 30 and 31, 2025. A series of logistic problems have caused her tour schedule to change in different regions of the globe. Such problems indicate that the tour has faced some kind of problem apart from visa slowdowns, and it could be something regarding stage setup, travel plans, or some unexpected problems with her team.

Artists find it difficult to organize worldwide tours because various countries have varying visa and production needs. All avoidable delays can be avoided, yet others will be outside the artist's control and will depend upon the government processing times and factors beyond control.

Possible rescheduling in the future

FKA Twigs mentioned she is working hard to resolve the matter and make things right. While no new dates have yet been released, she promised fans they will be informed when there is a breakthrough. Rescheduling also relies on all sorts of issues, including venues' availability, artist bookings, and whether they can reapply for necessary traveling documents within a reasonable time frame.

Travel issues such as these can affect an artist's tour schedule for months, and there is no way to know exactly when new dates will be announced. Fans are asked to stay current through her official social media and ticketing platforms for any additional announcements.
