OMD Cancels 2025 North American Tour Due to Health Concerns, Rescheduled for 2027.
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) has announced the postponement of their much-anticipated North American tour, originally scheduled for late 2024. The decision comes as a result of health issues affecting a band member, necessitating treatment and recovery. In a heartfelt statement, the band expressed their deep regret over the postponement, marking the first time in their 45-year career (aside from pandemic-related delays) that they’ve had to cancel or reschedule a tour.
The tour was set to cover major cities across the U.S. and Canada, including stops in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. Fans were eagerly awaiting the opportunity to experience OMD’s electrifying performances, known for their unique blend of synth-pop and post-punk, and the band was excited to reconnect with their North American audience.
Despite the unexpected setback, OMD reassured fans that all existing tickets will remain valid for the new dates, which are now rescheduled for May through July 2025. Those who are unable to attend the new dates will be able to receive refunds at the original point of purchase. However, the show in St. Petersburg, Florida, could not be rescheduled due to venue availability, leaving some fans disappointed.
OMD has expressed their sincere apologies to all fans, particularly those who had already made travel arrangements for the tour. The band emphasized that this decision was made after exhausting all other options, and they are hopeful for a smooth recovery and an even stronger return to the stage in 2025.
The health and well-being of the band remain the top priority, and OMD is optimistic that the rescheduled dates will allow for an even more memorable tour experience. Fans can stay updated through the band’s official channels for further announcements.
