Cheap Trick Cancels 2027 Tour Dates, Takes Break

Cheap Trick has canceled its scheduled 2027 tour performances and will take an unspecified break from touring after many years on the road, according to statements shared by venues and festival organizers. The cancellations include the band’s planned opening-night headline performance at Sarasota’s Thunder by the Bay Music & Motors Festival. Organizers are seeking a replacement act; ticket holders can transfer their passes to another festival day or wait for the new headliner before deciding whether to request a refund. The reports say the band’s remaining November 2026 shows are not affected.
