Jessie J has announced the postponement of her UK and European tour – find out more below.
The popstar announced she had been diagnosed with early breast cancer in June. At the time, she said that “cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding onto the word ‘early’. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period. I just wanted to be open and share it.” Shortly afterwards, the singer underwent surgery successfully on June 24.
Earlier this year, Jessie J announced a string of UK, European and North American tour dates set to take place this September, October and November. However, the musician has now confirmed that she is being forced to postpone her UK and European dates as she’s now scheduled to undergo a second surgery.
She said in a press statement: “Unfortunately I have to have a second surgery – nothing too serious but it has to be done by the end of this year. This falls in the middle of the tour I had booked. I’m so sorry, I feel frustrated and sad, but I need to be better, I need to be healed.”
The UK and European leg of the tour was due to kick off in September, but is now being rescheduled for April 2026. All tickets purchased for the October shows will be honoured at the April dates.
APRIL
07 – Birmingham, Symphony Hall
08 – London – The Palladium
11 – Leeds, O2 Academy
13 – Manchester, Albert Hall
14 – Glasgow, SEC Armadillo
21 – Amsterdam, Paradiso
22 – Brussels, La Madeleine
23 – Cologne, E-Werk
26 – Paris, La Cigale
The singer has also announced that she’s cancelled all of her North American dates. She addressed the matter in a video posted to Instagram: “I need to be better, I need to be healed… here comes the bad news, I haven’t been able to finesse the US dates so those have to be cancelled.”
She went on to say that she already has other tours and shows booked for 2026, so rescheduling the US dates will take a lot more work.
“Forgive me. I’m sorry, this sucks… April 2026 I’ll be on the road for the UK and European shows, and the US dates will be announced as soon as we can find time and it feels good to do them.”
Jessie J underwent surgery a few days after her show at the Summertime Ball 2025, which took place on June 15 at Wembley Stadium. The singer had also played an intimate, acoustic show at the Union Chapel in London in June.
The singer has previously been open about her health issues. In July last year, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), saying the diagnosis “made me rethink my whole life”.
Before then, she had experienced several health issues, including a miscarriage in late 2021, going deaf in one ear and being temporarily unable to walk properly in 2020, and suffering a stroke at the age of 18.
