Bright Eyes Cancel All Concerts for Remainder of 2024


Bright Eyes have been forced to cancel all remaining 2024 tour dates due to frontman Conor Oberst’s ongoing vocal problems.

“Over the past week, Conor has undergone multiple tests to determine the cause of his recent vocal problems,” the band said in a statement released on Friday night. “It’s come to light that he has developed a condition that is exacerbated by excessive singing, requiring both treatment and recuperation. We are confident that with a successful regimen, and continued medical attention, we will be able to return to the road next year.”

Bright Eyes previously canceled shows record release shows in Brooklyn and Omaha celebrating their new album, Five Dice, All Threes, as well as appearance at Chicago’s Riot Fest. The newly impacted shows include dates in Oakland and Los Angeles, a headlining appearance at Las Vegas’ Best Friends Forever Music Festival, and UK/European tour in November.

Prior to canceling the tour, Bright Eyes did manage to take the stage for a few shows, though the performances left much to be desired. According to attendees of the band’s recent Cleveland show who recounted their experiences on Reddit, Oberst was visibly intoxicated during the show and, at times, couldn’t play guitar or remember lyrics. Oberst has often performed intoxicated, but several attendees noted that Oberst was particularly out of it, and even ended the set by telling the crowd he wanted to kill himself.

As of now, Bright Eyes are still set to begin a massive, 43-date North American tour in January.
