Cheap Trick Tour Changes Affect Seven June Dates
The tour adjustments impact a portion of the band's summer schedule following a series of appearances shared with Styx. While several June dates were removed from the calendar, most of the band's remaining tour plans remain unchanged.
The group still has several major performances scheduled throughout the summer and fall. Upcoming appearances include Rockin' the Fields of Minnedosa in Canada, a performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and stops in California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Kentucky and other locations.
Festival appearances remain on the band's itinerary, including the Northwest Art & Air Festival in Albany, Oregon, and Bourbon & Beyond 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky.
Fans seeking updated information on venues, ticket policies and future performances have been directed to the band's official website.
The tour supports Cheap Trick's 2025 studio album All Washed Up, which marked the band's first new release in four years. The album followed 2021's In Another World and continued the group's long-running recording career.
Formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1973, Cheap Trick became one of rock music's most recognizable acts. The band's breakthrough arrived in the late 1970s with the success of At Budokan, the live album recorded in Tokyo, Japan. The release helped launch the group to international fame and produced the hit live version of "I Want You to Want Me."
Over more than five decades, Cheap Trick has sold over 20 million records and performed more than 5,000 concerts worldwide. Their catalog includes well-known songs such as "Surrender," "Dream Police," "The Flame" and "I Want You to Want Me."
In 2016, the band's legacy was recognized with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Although the recent tour changes have disappointed some fans, Cheap Trick has indicated that the affected schedule adjustments are limited to the announced dates. The band continues to move forward with the remainder of its 2026 touring plans while honoring tickets for postponed performances and providing refunds for canceled events.
