STEVE VAI RESCHEDULES PLANNED TOUR OF NORTH AMERICA
Majority of Appearances Scheduled from January 27 Through
April 2 Reconfirmed For September Through DecemberLos Angeles, CA – 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. Specific cities not cited below are in the process of being reconfirmed, and detail will be shared as those plans become firm. All ticket and VIP purchases will be honored for the rescheduled date.
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.”
