PinkPantheress had been opening for Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour since the second North American leg kicked off on July 19. Fans hoping to see her in San Francisco this weekend on the trek are out of luck.
The 23-year-old was slated to perform at III Points festival in Miami and on Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour running through Australia/New Zealand into November.
It’s been a very hectic year for PinkPantheress from a touring standpoint as she headlined her own Capable of Love Tour, which started in Europe before returning stateside to wrap up in April.
More recently, PinkPantheress performed at the MLS All-Star Concert in Columbus, Ohio, earlier in July, where she went viral for gifting a fan her Coach bag.
“I was lucky enough to perform in a location I’ve never done a show at, in Columbus, Ohio, so meeting some longtime fans was the best feeling ever,” PinkPantheress told Billboard of the heartwarming exchange. “One of them handed me a custom made Funko Pop so of course I had to give them my Coach bag in exchange for their hard work!”
The “Boys a Liar, Pt. 2” singer’s Heaven Knows debut album arrived in 2023 and went on to reach No. 61 in the U.S. on the Billboard 200.
