By Jon Freeman

Jon Freeman

Wynonna Judd has added new dates to “ The Judds : The Final Tour,” her celebration of her mother Naomi Judd, who died in May, and the music they made together as a duo. Ashley McBryde , Brandi Carlile , Kelsea Ballerini, Little Big Town , and Martina McBride , along with special guests yet to be announced, will appear at select shows.

“The Judds: The Final Tour” has three more dates left in 2022, including an Oct. 29 show at Lexington, Kentucky’s Rupp Arena in the Judds’ home state. One day earlier, the tour will visit Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

What an amazing season this is. I look so forward to continuing the celebration of the music that has changed my life forever.”

About The Judds :

Wynonna and Naomi Judd brought a fresh acoustic sound to country music, with unmistakable harmonies surrounding Wynonna’s powerful lead vocals. The Judds are often celebrated for a rarely-interrupted stretch of 14 No. 1 hits when every single of theirs released by RCA landed in the Billboard Top 10; and a career that defined what it means to be individualists in the music business. The Judds dominated touring in the 80s with 20 Top 10 hits, have sold more than 20 million albums and blazed a trail for duos and women who have followed them. Together, The Judds have 16 Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum albums and longform videos, led by 2x Platinum albums Why Not Me and The Judds Greatest Hits. Their stripped-back style revived the popularity of acoustic sounds in country music and opened up the genre for more traditional approaches.

The Judds announce 'The Final Tour,' ending with Nashville concert at Bridgestone Arena

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Ahead of their appearance on the CMT Music Awards , legendary country music duo The Judds have announced plans for "The Final Tour" — their first in more than a decade.

The 10-date arena trek kicks off September 30 in Grand Rapids, Mich. and will conclude at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on October 28. They'll be joined by special guest Martina McBride on a majority of the dates, including Nashville.

Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, April 15 at 9 or 10 a.m., depending on the venue. Nashville's sale begins at 10 a.m.

The Judds — comprised of mother Naomi Judd and daughter Wynonna — are set to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame next month.

This "Final Tour" will be their first since an extensive "farewell tour" in 2010-11.

They first topped the charts in 1984 with “Mama, He’s Crazy" and enjoyed 14 No. 1 hits over the next decade, including “Why Not Me,” “Love Is Alive” and “Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout the Good Old Days).”

The duo first parted ways in 1991, but have reunited for occasional tours and special performances.

“The fans have always been my family of choice," Naomi Judd shared in the tour's press release. "I love them dearly, so I'm chompin’ at the bit to belt out our hits and reconnect with them once again."

According to Judd, "the cherry on top" is performing with her daughters, whom she called "the best singer of any genre."

"She asked me if I was still going to twist, twirl and crack jokes. I answered, 'Heck yeah!' I'm too old to grow up now!”

"What I'm looking forward to most is celebrating Judd music with the fans," Wynnona Judd said.

"Mom and I have had quite the journey over the last 38 years, and the fans have been with us through it all. This tour is a celebration for them!"

Wynonna Judd Announces That The Judds’ Final Tour Will Continue in 2023

The Judds: The Final Tour will continue into 2023 with 15 just-announced dates. Wynonna Judd announced the new leg of performances during a stop on The Today Show on Monday (Oct. 24), explaining that she decided to add a new string of dates thanks to fan demand.

Just like the first run of the The Judds ' Final Tour, Judd will take the stage alongside a revolving cast of some of country music's brightest-shining female stars. Ashley McBryde , Brandi Carlile , Kelsea Ballerini , Little Big Town and Martina McBride are all confirmed to return for round two of the trek, which launches Jan. 26 with a stop in Hershey, Penn.

"I have never felt so overwhelmed by this much love and support!" Judd says of her concert dates thus far and her decision to expand the tour. "The emotions that flow while listening to the different generations of fans sing back to me each night has been otherworldly."

Judd also related that The Judds' Final Tour so far has created some of the best memories onstage she's ever made over the course of her almost four-decade-long career. This tour, she adds, has been a particularly poignant way to honor her mother and Judds bandmate Naomi Judd , who died by suicide at the age of 76 earlier this year. The Judds had announced their 2022 tour prior to Naomi's death, and in the wake of that unexpected tragedy, Judd reconfigured the tour as an all-star girls' night that both celebrates the Judds' lengthy career and serves as a remembrance of her mother.

"The decision to add 15 more shows was a no-brainer for me," Judd goes on to say. "The fans have been such a gift during my time of grieving and honoring my mother in song. What an amazing season this is. I look so forward to continuing the celebration of the music that has changed my life forever."

Tickets for the new dates on the trek go on sale to the general public starting Friday, Oct. 28 at 10AM local time. Additionally, Citi cardholders will have access to a presale beginning Monday (Oct. 24) at 10AM local time, and there's a fan presale that starts at 12PM that day, too.

The Judds: The Final Tour 2023 Dates:

Jan. 26 -- Hershey, Pa. @ GIANT Center Jan. 28 -- Bridgeport, Conn. @ Total Mortgage Arena Jan. 29 -- Worcester, Mass. @ DCU Center Feb. 2 -- Tulsa, Okla. @ BOK Center Feb. 3 -- Kansas City, Mo. @ T-Mobile Center Feb. 4 -- St. Louis, Mo. @ Chaifetz Arena Feb. 9 -- Omaha, Ne. @ CHI Health Center Omaha Feb. 10 -- Moline, Ill. @ Vibrant Arena at THE MARK Feb. 11 -- Dayton, Ohio @ WSU Nutter Center Feb. 16 -- Greenville S.C. @ Bon Secours Wellness Arena Feb. 17 -- Fairfax, Va. @ EagleBank Arena Feb. 18 -- Charleston, W.

The Judds: The Final Tour - Q+A with Wynonna Judd

Wynonna Judd, The Judds

Country star Wynonna Judd sits down to share her insights from being on the road and feelings on The Judds Final Tour in 2023.

1. How does it feel to have the “final” dates of The Judds: The Final Tour plotted for 2023?    It is bittersweet. I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to add more dates, and I’m already sad that it’s going to come to an end. It has been one the most unforgettable experiences of my life, getting to celebrate The Judds music and legacy with the fans, while publicly grieving the loss of my mother.   2. This has to be an emotional tour for you, how do you keep your composure on stage?    Well…I don’t. I’ve been letting my feelings fly onstage. I’ve learned that the best way to heal is to walk through the storm. The fans singing the words back to me has been so therapeutic, so I’ve literally been letting the music and this time heal me.    3. What has it been like for you performing The Judds songs again?    Performing Judd music has always been a blessing. At the same time, it feels strange to be the age that I am, singing the songs that I recorded when I was in my 20’s. I am, however, realizing that the fans are loving every minute of it! My fans and I grew up together, so it thrills me to watch them have their own experience with these songs and to be able to take them back to a certain memory or time in their life. I also love seeing the reactions of the new fans that are perhaps hearing some of these songs for the first time.    4. What does a typical tour day look like for you - both pre and post show?    Since we have so many guest artists on this tour, my day starts with a soundcheck and rehearsal with each artist. They all bring something so different to the show, so I have really enjoyed that aspect of it. No two shows are the same! We all have the best time together and laugh A LOT. Sometimes I wish the soundcheck could be the show, because we have so much fun together.    Then, we let a group of fans in for a pre-show performance and Q&A. It gives me a chance to make a connection with the fans who have been with me for so long, as well as the new fans who are seeing me for the first time. It’s really, really special.   After that I go to the bus and I try to rest my brain, because I’m on fire most of the day! I find that I try to relax as much as possible because I go from 0 to 100mph at showtime. I light my candles, do my hair and makeup, and get ready for the show.   Once I get inside the venue, we all gather in a circle and Cactus leads us in a pre-show prayer. Between our band, crew, families, and the guest artists, our circle has grown so much this year. We are truly surrounded with the best people. “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” plays in the arena and then…showtime!   After the show I find that I go to sleep soundly because I am so exhilarated and exhausted from the 2+ hours onstage. The day is so fast paced and seems to fly by. I’m singing 25 songs each night, so when I come offstage I am done. D-U-N!    5. What's it like to see more women in country music now vs. when you first started out? What would it mean to you, to see/hear more of re: women in country music?    To me, there have always been so many great women around me in country music. I’ve been in such great company with Trisha, Martina, Reba, Faith, Shania…the list goes on and on! As for the females in country music today, it’s been an honor and a privilege to pass the torch to such a talented group of women. My hope is that they continue to stay authentic, and never let anybody tell them who they are. I continue to love the songs that are so honest, true, and real. It is so important that we carry on the traditions that separate country music from other genres, and to never forget where we come from in country music.   7. What do you want fans to get from the live experience that they can’t get just from listening to the albums on their own?    The thing I love most about being in this business is the live show experience. What you see is what you get. The tears, the laughter, a lot of it comes out onstage. There is nothing like a live performance because it’s raw emotion happening in real time. It’s the one chance that we, as artists, get to make a human connection with our fans.   8. How have the fans made this tour special for you?   I look out into the audience and I see 3, sometimes 4 generations of fans with their vintage Judds shirts and homemade signs, and it just blows me away. These fans have been with me since the very beginning and are now bringing their children and grandchildren. It is quite a family reunion every night, and as corny as that sounds, it is really what has made the difference in this particular tour.    9. What has to happen for you to feel like, “that was a great show, we nailed it!”?   When I walk offstage feeling like we made a connection with the crowd, is when I feel like we “nailed it.” There is no better feeling than seeing the audience up on their feet for the entire show, and hearing them sing every word back to me. Sometimes the energy and the love coming at me is so strong that it almost knocks me over. THAT is the biggest reward!

The Judds dominated touring in the 80s with 20 Top 10 hits, have sold more than 20 million albums and blazed a trail for duos and women who have followed them. Together, The Judds have 16 Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum albums and longform videos, led by 2x Platinum albums Why Not Me and The Judds Greatest Hits. Their stripped-back style revived the popularity of acoustic sounds in country music and opened up the genre for more traditional approaches.

How Wynonna Judd’s ‘Judds Final Tour’ Resulted in a Celebratory, All-Star Concert Special… and a Doc That Deals With Grief

Filmmakers behind Paramount+'s 'Between Hell and Hallelujah' and CMT's 'Love Is Alive — The Final Concert' tell how two specials came out of a tour that had Wynonna joined by Brandi Carlile, Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, Little Big Town and Martina McBride

judds Wynonna Judd, Brandi Carlile, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Martina McBride, Ashley McBryde, performers on Wynonna Judd concert special

With the on-air premieres of the doc and concert special being spaced a few days apart, Judds fans don’t have to consume them both in one fell swoop, but the biggest devotees of the history-making mother/daughter duo may well make a “Girls Night Out” binge out of the two programs anyway.

No one will be punished for picking their own viewing order, but CMT’s Margaret Comeaux, one of the executive producers of the concert film, suggests starting with the doc and saving the live show for dessert. “I think that’s probably the preferred order,” Comeaux says, “because I think the story that the doc is telling of the whole year leads us to the final story we’re telling in the concert special, with the culmination in Murfreesboro.” That’s the Tennessee city where Judd and all the guest stars who appeared along last fall’s tour routing converged for a show that was meant to more or less recreate the Judds’ famous original farewell concert back in 1991, shot on the same stage.

Both projects will prove enticing not just to fans of the Judds but to followers of the performers who are seen joining Wynonna as co-frontwomen: Brandi Carlile , Kelsea Ballerini, Martina McBride, Ashley McBryde, Faith Hill and Little Big Town. (Make that co-frontwomen and -frontmen in the case of the latter co-ed vocal quartet.)

Says Jason Owen , the head of Nashville media powerhouse Sandbox Entertainment and an exec producer on both projects: “I’m being honest when I say I could not have done this tour without her. I mean, she was a confidante. She and I talked through a lot as we were talking through songs and making sure everyone was healthy and happy. And her energy is just infectious. From the very beginning, she felt very strongly that Wynonna should do the tour, and she was very vocal about that with all of us. And we all started building this idea of the tour with a guest (each night) off of Brandi, and that’s how it started. But throughout the process, she was there. It was very important for me that she be the first guest — and it was very important to me — because I knew that she cared so much about the music and cared so much about Wynonna. Not that all of them did not, because they did, but she was like a beacon, and wanted to make sure everything was really right and perfect for Wy, mostly musically.”

Even before Naomi died and plans changed in the biggest possible way, there had always been a plan to film a documentary about what had been booked as the Judds’ second farewell tour. Owens’ Sandbox had hooked up with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine — specifically Sara Rea, who runs the unscripted division — at about the time the Judds appeared on the 2022 CMT Music Awards to sing “Love Will Build a Bridge” and promote the coming reunion tour.

After Naomi died, virtually everything that had been planned went on — including the filming projects — albeit always with a check-in to Wynonna and her team to make sure they were on board, and with obvious constant acknowledgements of the void at the center of things, or at a half-center. Unforgettably, Wynonna showed up to accept the duo’s Country Music Hall of Fame medallion at a ceremony just two days after the death. At a musical memorial televised by CMT from the Ryman Auditorium, Wynonna announced the tour would go on, with Carlile — a key duet partner at the eulogistic event — seen in the third row literally leaning forward in her seat with enthusiasm for the idea.

Probably the most talked-about scene comes mid-tour, when deepening anxiety about staging issues leads Wynonna to get on an emergency Zoom call with her therapist to deal with the real underlying issues. She says that every time she drives by her mother’s house, which is often, she flashes back to the day she was called over, and the traumatic imagery of being in the room with her dying mom. Her biggest regret, she says feistily, is that she didn’t punch the cop who held her back from kissing her mother before she passed, and that it was only after Naomi was declared dead that she was able to kiss her on the forehead.

“That was a hard day of filming,” says Patty Ivins Specht, the director of the “Between Hell and Hallelujah” doc. “It was a fascinating day, because that (therapy session) was not scheduled. She woke up that day and sincerely needed to have a session with David Kessler for her grief therapy because she was just feeling it so deeply. First of all, the entire crew is crying on some level, because it’s very emotional to listen to somebody relive their worst day of their life. And then it was another moment where she went into that very personal trauma of replaying the driving over (to the house), every time. She’s like, ‘I just can’t stop that loop in my brain.’ Sometimes when you’re making a movie like this, it is such a trust fall, and Wy just trusted that we were gonna capture the process and was free with how she felt, and I think everyone in the room filming it feels that responsibility when someone trusts you with their vulnerability.

“I look at that scene and she’s a woman who’s legitimately in a painful hour in time and she’s asking for help. And she’s kind of trying to ignore that these cameras are here. But watching somebody model processing their grief is also really empowering, because in our society, we don’t talk about death. You do the funeral, you move along, and then you still live with that grief for years. And so I think in a powerful way, her modeling how she’s processing this grief is really one of the gifts of this film.”

The anxiety for Judd comes about in a somewhat symbolic way, at first, starting with the very practical matter of the artist having difficulty with the opening gambit of the tour. She would be snuck out each night in a rolling equipment cabinet to start each concert on a “B stage,” apart from the band or any guests back on the main stage — and, in some kind of deeply Freudian way, separated from the union with her mother that the main stage represents. It doesn’t help that Judd is described by others as being more claustrophobic than anyone else they know even on an elevator.

As for capturing Wynonna’s first visit to her mother’s home after the tragedy, says Ivins Specht, “It illustrates this thing that happens with Wynonna, where I think she has this kind of unspoken contract with her fans that she just gives it up. Because even when she said yes to us, that we could go with her that day, I mean, we weren’t so sure she’d say yes, but no, she was all for it. … The sensitive thing is, leading with your intuition a little bit in those times, but really our job is to always ask. That actually is our job, to ask — in humility and kindness — to ask the uncomfortable questions all the time. There’s so much give and take, and she gives so much. There’s a moment (in the film) where she goes, ‘OK, I think I did it.’ Like, ‘That’s all I can do today.’ But she generally tries to say yes, and then she’ll find a boundary at some point.”

One reason Owen bonded so well with Carlile is that he, too, was a Judds megafan since childhood. He will allow that a VHS tape of the 1991 Judds farewell special was one of his most prized, if not worn-out, possessions. (Naomi Judd said that she was retiring at the time, after their run of ’80s smashes, because of her hepatitis-C diagnosis, although she participated in short or one-off reunions over the following three decades.) That farewell show had been filmed at Middle Tennessee State University, and it was Owen’s idea to recreate the show back at that original site — though it was not the original plan.

“I remember Margaret and I having a phone conversation as we were trying to plan this concert special,” Owen recalls, “and the original plan was that we were going to do it in Lexington, Kentucky,” where the last show was to take place on the original fall 2022 tour routing. “Kentucky made sense because they were obviously from Kentucky, and that was where we were going to wrap the tour. We had blocked off seating for it, we had done camera holds, we did everything. Long story short, Wynonna wanted to continue the tour and continue to do another run of dates,” which would extend the actual finale to months down the line. “And then, with Margaret and I brainstorming on the phone, I said, ‘What if we do it there, at MTSU?’ Within eight hours, we had that.. … At the college, there was tons of faculty and people that worked there for a long period of time that were all there when they shot that special, believe it or not. And when we pitched them on this idea, they went through every hoop imaginable to make sure it happened.

It wasn’t just Carlile among the guests who was able to have an emotional impact on Judd. Comeaux remembers a spontaneous moment in rehearsal, captured in the doc, when Faith Hill began serenading Judd on stage with an a cappella version of “You Are Not Alone,” with the band eventually joining in. The documentary crew was on the opposite side of the venue, filming an interview with Tim McGraw, but they had made contingency plans to leave one camera near the star at all times, and a producer was able to pick it up and capture the moment. “Wy, at the beginning of every show, is very much in a zone of ‘I want to service all the fans who are coming,’ and as anyone is, you’re in game mode — you’ve gotta see the vision of the end. And so when Faith begins this beautiful rendition, I mean, everybody on stage had a lump in their throat, and Wynonna pulls out a funny and says, ‘Don’t you ever do that again.’ But it’s a beautiful moment in the movie.”

But it’s hard to overstate Carlile’s impact, even on the tour dates that came after her initial appearance at the first ones. Says Ivins Specht, “At the kickoff concert, it was one day of load-in, a little bit of rehearsal that late afternoon into the evening, and then the next day was another rehearsal, and then the first show was that Friday night. So it’s Thursday, 4 or 5 o’clock, and it’s a big freaking day — stressful, everything’s getting built, and things aren’t coming together as quickly as possible, as with every production you ever work on.” Owen concurs, “That first weekend of shows was very stressful. Things go wrong. We have to change things; I’m yelling at some lighting guy. It’s tough.”

And then, says the director, “I can tell you, the moment Team Brandi rolled in, Wy was like, ‘OK, I’m gonna be good.’ Like, ‘I have Brandi on stage. She’s as invested in this being a success for me, as an individual woman, as she is for all the fans who love the Judds so much.’ And I think the planning of Brandi being first is kind of an unspoken tribute to why this is such a success. It transcended being about all the anxiety around what Wynonna was about to do, and it went back to the place of celebration and joy, and Brandi helped Wy access that peace in herself. That’s what I witnessed.” Adds Owen, “She helped me too, honestly, because I was very emotional through it, because I cared so much and it was such a rollercoaster of a year. Again, I really would say wholeheartedly, I could not have done this without her.”

“I have a petition to get her to the Greek” in Los Angeles, says Comeaux. “I want to see Wynonna at the Greek.”

Maybe that will happen eventually, but not under this banner. “There’s nothing (further) scheduled for that,” Owen says. “I think that that was the end of the Judds tour. Unfortunately for all of us.”

Wynonna Judd will have a lot of support on hand as she embarks on The Judds' final tour following her mom,  Naomi Judd 's, death. The 11-date arena tour will feature star-studded tributes to Naomi from fellow artists including  Brandi Carlile , Faith Hill , Little Big Town , Martina McBride , Ashley McBryde, and  Trisha Yearwood .

On Thursday, it was announced that Kelsea Ballerini has also joined the star-studded lineup. 

“It’s hard to believe that in just 3 weeks we’ll be stepping onstage for our first show in Grand Rapids,” says Wynonna in a new statement. “I continue to find myself both grateful and humbled by the unwavering support from my fellow artists, music community, and of course, the fans. I am looking so forward to celebrating The Judds music one final time. It will be a bittersweet experience, and one that I will never forget.”

“It’s so amazing to be included in honoring The Judds legacy as part of their final tour," McBride added in a statement following the announcement that she has joined the tour. "I’m beyond excited for what’s sure to be an emotional, fun, and hit packed series of shows and to be joined by some of Country Music's biggest names."

In May, Wynonna announced that she will follow her mother's wishes, and take The Judds' show on the road with the help of some of the biggest women in country music. 

“I am humbled, once again, by the loyalty of the fans who have been with us for 38+ years, who continue to show up for me when I need them the most," Wynonna said in a press release. "I am grateful that we will continue to honor The Judds legacy, together."

Naomi's widow, Larry Strickland, also said in the release that he is "so happy that in this time of grief for us all, Wynonna has agreed to move forward with this tour as my sweet wife Naomi would have wanted her to do.”

McBride will open select shows, followed by Wynonna, who will sing her own hits as well as The Judds' songs. Each night will feature a different artist, with surprises announced along the way. The tour kicks off in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at Van Andel Arena on Sept. 30 and runs through October. Hill will join Wynonna on the final stop, which takes place in The Judds' home state of Kentucky.

Tickets are on sale now at thejudds.com and the full tour dates can be seen below.

Wynonna confirmed the tour would go on as planned during the CMT's Naomi Judd: A River of Time Celebration last weekend. 

" I made a decision, that after a lot of thought, I’m gonna have to honor her, I'm gonna do this tour, because that’s what you would want," Wynonna explained. "And mama once told me, ‘Give them what they want. Not what you want.'"

“So tonight, as we close. I say the show must go on," she continued. "As hard as it may be, and we will show up together. And you will carry me as you carried me for 38 years, once again. Because I honestly didn’t think I could do it. I didn’t know if I could go on without her. Life is so strange, it’s so devastatingly beautiful what happened here tonight so we will continue. That’s what she would want, right?” 

Naomi died at age 76 in late June. Ashley Judd later confirmed her mother's cause of death was from a self-inflicted firearm wound , and revealed she was the one who found Naomi.

“She used a weapon…my mother used a firearm,” she said on Good Morning America , speaking about Naomi's battle with mental illness. “So that’s the piece of information that we are very uncomfortable sharing, but understand that we’re in a position that if we don’t say it someone else is going to.”

Ashley added of the day her mother died, "It was a mixed day. I visit with my mom and pop every day when I’m home in Tennessee, so I was at the house visiting as I am every day. Mom said to me, ‘Will you stay with me?’ and I said, ‘Of course I will.’…I went upstairs to let her know that her good friend was there and I discovered her. I have both grief and trauma from discovering her."

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - JUNE 19: Jon Bon Jovi of Bon Jovi performs on stage at Anfield on June 19, 2019 ... [+] in Liverpool, England. (Photo by Shirlaine Forrest/WireImage)

2024 is turning out to be a busy year for Bon Jovi. The rock band has a docuseries coming out next month, and they just announced a full-length, along with a new single. Fans of the beloved group are surely enjoying this surge in activity, but they might not want to hold their breaths for a tour.

Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi–from whom the band gets its name–recently spoke to Boston radio station Mix 104.1 (via Far Out Magazine ) about this latest era. When asked about plans to perform live again in a major way, the rocker was candid about his outlook for the future, and what he’s doing to try to make touring happen again.

“I don’t know about a tour,” Jovi stated, matter-of-factly. He made it clear that is is his “desire to do a tour next year,” but at the moment, he can’t say whether it will happen or not.

Jovi has been forced to deal with some health issues in the past few years, which have essentially stopped the touring business for him and his band entirely. In his radio interview, the rocker clarified why he’s not touring, or planning on it at the moment, explaining that he’s “still recovering from a major surgery,” though he didn’t elaborate too much on that topic.

The rock legend did paint a hopeful picture for the future, though. “I’m well on the road to recovery,” he commented…though it seems he’s not quite there just yet. “My need, want, desire is to be able to do two-and-a-half hours a night four nights a week for months on end,” he admitted, which is exactly what his fans would love for him as well.

Jovi also talked about the band’s forthcoming album, Forever . The set was announced earlier this week and is expected to drop later this year. A single from the project, "Legendary,” arrived on Thursday (March 14).

Speaking about the making of Forever , Jovi said that he was “able to take my time and do a song a day when I made the record.” That’s a solid plan for a group in the studio, but it won’t cut it on the road. Bon Jovi last toured in 2022 on their aptly-titled Bon Jovi 2022 Tour.

Jennifer Lopez cancels 7 tour dates without explanation after new album ‘This Is Me…Now’ flops

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Jennifer Lopez has canceled the final seven dates of her upcoming tour — without explanation.

Fans noticed that Ticketmaster quietly added cancellation notices to the Nashville, Raleigh, NC, Atlanta, Tampa, Fla., and New Orleans listings for the “This Is Me…Now” trek earlier this week.

Even more curiously, previously announced shows in Cleveland and Houston were wiped from the company’s website entirely.

Jennifer Lopez

The seven dates had been scheduled for Aug. 20 through Aug. 31. The tour is now set to end in New York City on Aug. 17.

A message on Ticketmaster’s site blamed “the event organizer” for the cancellations but did not offer further information aside from refund details for ticketholders.

However, Page Six is told there was a logistical issue through the promoter and there is potential for the affected concerts to be rescheduled.

The tour update comes after the “Let’s Get Loud” singer’s new album, also titled “This Is Me…Now,” flopped on the Billboard 200 chart by debuting at No. 38 last month.

Jennifer Lopez

Page Six reviewed the 13-track record as “uninspired,” opining that Lopez is “bogged down in her glory days” as she sings about her on-again relationship with her husband, Ben Affleck, whom she first dated in the early 2000s before eloping in Las Vegas in 2022.

In addition to the album, J.Lo released a star-studded musical film, “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” and a documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.”

“This Is Me…Now” is Lopez’s first studio album in a decade.
