They Might Be Giants was supposed to perform overseas starting on October 2nd. However, today, they announced that they will be postponing their tour.
We regret to announce that we have to postpone our upcoming tours of Australia, England, Ireland, and Scotland due to immediate health issues. These temporary complications should be resolved in the coming months. We are eagerly looking forward to these shows which will now happen next year (this was the earliest we could secure the shows with the continuity of a tour). And yes, these will all still be super-deluxe “An Evening with” shows with two sets including all of Flood. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and your patience is most appreciated.
They did not say which John has the “immediate health issues” and what they were. But hopefully, he will be better soon.
This is not the first time they have had to postpone a tour in recent years. John Flansburgh was involved in a car accident in NYC on the way back from a gig in June 2022 and needed to take time off to recuperate.
