John Summit Cancels Remaining August Shows, Saying ‘I Need To Recharge My Battery’ Before Fall Arena Tour
Summit will no longer play four European festivals this month.
On Monday, August 17, John Summit announced that he is canceling his remaining August performances due to the need to recharge before embarking on his upcoming North American arena tour in fall. The musician will be missing out on a lineup of four European festivals, including Belgium's Pukkelpop, Malta's UNO Malta, the U.K.'s Creamfields, and France's Touquet Music Beach Festival.
In an Instagram Stories post, Summit revealed that after much consideration, he decided to take the rest of August off touring to rest and prepare for his arena tour. He explained that there is a significant amount of work to be done for the tour and that he needs to recharge his battery. Summit, known for his full-on tour schedule, recently headlined Lollapalooza, performed his UNVRS Ibiza residency, and played numerous festivals such as Ultra Europe, Tomorrowland, and Canada's Cowboy's Music Festival.
The arena tour that Summit is now set to embark on is in support of his April album CTRL ESCAPE, which reached No. 9 on Billboard's Top Dance Albums chart. The 21-date North American tour will begin on October 1 in Champaign, Illinois, and is expected to be his biggest tour to date. Summit added a final date to the tour in Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which is expected to be the biggest show of his career so far.
Before the CTRL ESCAPE tour commences, Summit has September dates in Bogotá, Colombia, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as well as his Experts Only Festival in New York and a performance at Las Vegas' LIV Nightclub.
