Steve Vai has postponed his planned tour of North America until the Fall.
The first U.S. leg of dates will now begin on Wednesday, September 28 in El Cajon, CA and
wrap the first week of December. The itinerary will now feature performances in 52 markets as
opposed to the initial plan of staging 54 shows. All ticket and VIP purchases will be honored for
the rescheduled date. Vai’s performance in Atlanta, GA will now take place at the Variety
Playhouse instead of The Eastern and due to scheduling conflicts, the Milwaukee, WI and
Billings, MT shows will no longer be a part of the tour.
Approximately one year ago, Vai underwent shoulder surgery to repair an injury. That procedure
was successful, enabling him to record the upcoming studio album release of Inviolate (Favored
Nations / Mascot Label Group). In preparing for the tour, it became clear that a new injury
emerged that requires another surgery prohibiting the tour to be staged as announced.
Vai shares, “I’m gutted that we have to move this tour, but I also know it’s in the best interests
for us and the fans that we do.”

If you are unable to make the new date, you have 30 days to request a refund from your point of sale.
