The Steve Miller Band has officially canceled its upcoming 2025 North American tour, citing escalating climate-related weather disasters as the primary reason for the decision.
According to Variety, the tour — which was set to kick off on August 15 in Bethel, New York, and conclude on November 8 in Anaheim, California — has been entirely scrapped over safety concerns linked to increasingly extreme weather conditions.
In a statement shared on social media and the band’s official website, the group explained:
“The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, and massive forest fires make these risks for you — our audience, the band, and the crew — unacceptable. So … You can blame it on the weather… The tour is cancelled.”
All previously announced 2025 tour dates have been removed from the band’s website.
Formed in San Francisco in 1966 and led by frontman Steve Miller, the Steve Miller Band is best known for classic rock hits like “The Joker,”“Rock ‘N Me,”“Take the Money and Run,” and “Abracadabra.” The now-canceled tour included 31 scheduled performances across the U.S.
