Halsey Maniac Tour 2021 Cancelled

/in /by

Halsey has officially called off her long-postponed Manic World Tour.

The 26-year-old pop superstar took to Twitter on Friday (Jan. 22) to announce the cancellation, citing health and safety concerns due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“Safety is the priority. I wish things were different,” the singer captioned a screenshot of the announcement. “I love you. Dreaming of seeing your faces again.”

The North American leg of Halsey’s Manic World Tour — in support of her third album of the same title — was initially scheduled to begin in June 2020. The trek was later postponed to the the summer of this year. She did, however, manage to play some European dates last March prior to the shutdown.

Now, with uncertainty about the virus still looming, Halsey has opted to cancel the Manic tour altogether and issue refunds to ticket-buyers.

“Despite our absolute best efforts, there is no guarantee I’ll be able to tour the currently scheduled dates,” the singer wrote in a statement. “I miss seeing all of you in the crowd every night more than anything, but I need to prioritize your health and safety. That being said, the Manic tour is now officially canceled. As much as we wanted to hold out hope that this tour could eventually happen, our priority is now getting your ticket money back to you immediately.”

Since the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, thousands of concerts, tours and festival around the world have been postponed or canceled in an effort to slow the spread of the virus.

Her second studio album, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (2017), consisted of more “radio friendly” music than her previous releases. It topped the Billboard 200 and featured two US top-20 singles: “Now or Never” and “Bad at Love”. Halsey’s third studio album, Manic, was released in 2020. Its lead single, “Without Me”, became her first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist.

Think we’re nudging 200 shows this year. We had our NERVONation parties in Miami, Austria and Ibiza at Ushuaia, which have all been amazing.

3) Alesso New Year’s Eve @ Story

On the heels of one the most ballyhooed performances at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival this past March, superstar DJ Alesso will have the honor of leading the fine folks of Story into the new year.  About his 2017, Alesso says: “The last year, I’ve been just in a very creative environment. I used to just think about what will work on a dance floor at a festival. Now, I try to put out a song that makes me really feel [something], that’s meant to come out through your headphones when you’re on your way to work, or off work in the car, [or] being with your friends. I’m just trying to make the most of each song wherever it goes, not trying to push it to a dance floor direction. If I want it to be a dance floor version down the road, I’ll just remix it.”   Expect the Swedish wunderkind to keep inspiring the world in 2018 and beyond, and expect one of Miami Beach’s most bumping nightclubs to party well beyond the stroke of midnight and into the first dawn of 2018.
