Bright Eyes cancel the rest of their 2024 shows

Last week, Bright Eyes cancelled what were to be their next three shows, NYC, Omaha, and their Riot Fest set, “on the advice of doctors,” saying that Conor Oberst had lost his voice. They’ve now announced the cancellation of the rest of their 2024 shows for the same reason. A statement from the band reads:

We regret to announce that we will have to cancel our shows for the rest of the year including in Los Angeles, Oakland, Las Vegas and Europe. We love our fans and are incredibly disappointed that we won’t be able to play these shows. All tickets for headline shows will be refunded at point of purchase and we will keep everyone posted on plans for rescheduling.

Over the past week, Conor has undergone multiple tests to determine the cause of his recent vocal problems. It’s come to light that he has developed a condition that is exacerbated by excessive singing, requiring both treatment and recuperation. We are confident that with a successful regimen, and continued medical attention, we will be able to return to the road next year.

Much love & thank you for your understanding.
Bright Eyes

The band, who just released their great new album Five Dice, All Threes, also have a 2025 tour scheduled. See all dates below.

Among the cancelled dates is Las Vegas festival Best Friends Forever, who have added The Blood Brothers to the lineup on Sunday night. “Bright Eyes announced today that they will be pulling off a number of shows due to vocal problems,” the festival writes. “We are saddened to not have them joining us this year and wish Conor Oberst a healthy recovery. We are excited to announce that The Blood Brothers have joined the lineup to headline Sunday night!”

The Blood Brothers’ reunion tour was previously set to begin in November.
