Rachel Chinouriri: UK music star cancels upcoming tour dates with Remi Wolf - which shows have been affected?

• UK singer-songwriter Rachel Chinouriri has announced the cancellation of her dates supporting Remi Wolf.
• The musician was initially meant to tour the United States starting on September 30 2024 in New York.
• But have the financial reasons leading to the tour cancellation had a knock of effect on her upcoming UK tour dates?

UK singer songwriter Rachel Chinouriri has announced she is cancelling a number of scheduled performances at music festivals and her upcoming support for Remi Wolf.

Taking to Twitter (also known as X), the Croydon musician known for her works including “Better Off Without,” announced the move citing financial problems have led her to pull out of her support dates in the United States. 

“I'm deeply saddened to announce that I have to withdraw from the Remi Wolf tour and several festivals. This year I've invested all my savings and earnings into my shows, styling, and band to be able to tour. While my debut album has opened many amazing opportunities, the financial strain on touring has become too much.”

“Despite my best efforts to secure funding for this incredible opportunity, it hasn't been possible. This is the tough reality of the music industry, whether you're signed or independent”

”I've explored every possible option to make this work because I adore Remi and her fanbase, and I was so excited to come to the States. However, I cannot justify the financial risk it would entail”

“Thank you for your understanding and the support, it means everything to me. I will continue to work hard, and I can't wait to see you all on the November tour! To my US darlings I will be back as soon as I can!”
