LeAnn Rimes’ Upcoming Concerts After Cancelled Performances

LeAnn Rimes‘ cancelled performances made headlines earlier this year, but as of September 2026 the veteran country and pop singer is very much back on stage — here’s the full timeline of what happened and where her tour stands today.

Rimes, now 43, kicked off 2026 with a major undertaking: the “30 Years of Blue” tour, marking three decades since her breakthrough 1996 album “Blue” made her the youngest country star since Tanya Tucker and, at 14, the youngest individual Grammy winner in history. The tour launched in her home state with a show in Dallas on April 19, with further dates planned in Spokane, Seattle, Waukegan, Wilmington (Ohio), Washington D.C. and Wilmington, North Carolina, with more stops promised as the year progressed.

The run hit a snag almost immediately. Just days after the Dallas opener, Rimes announced via Instagram that she was unable to travel or perform due to “severe illness,” forcing the postponement of her April 30 Spokane show and May 1 Seattle show.

“I’m sorry to share that the upcoming shows in Spokane and Seattle will be rescheduled,” she wrote, thanking fans for their patience while confirming that all existing tickets would remain valid for the new dates and that refunds would be available for anyone unable to attend the rescheduled shows. The illness came shortly after a getaway to Mexico with her husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, to mark their 15th wedding anniversary; Rimes did not publicly specify the exact nature of her illness.

The two postponed shows were rescheduled for May 31 (Spokane) and June 2 (Seattle), and both went ahead as planned — Rimes confirmed on social media that the “rescheduled 30 Years of Blue shows officially kick back off this weekend,” thanking Spokane and Seattle fans for their patience.

Since recovering, Rimes has kept up a steady run of dates. She played Wilmington, North Carolina on August 15, and in September she took the “30 Years of Blue” show international with a run of Australian dates: Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on September 11, Sydney’s ICC Theatre on September 13, and Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on September 16. The Australian leg has been billed as an “all-new live show” spanning her multi-genre catalogue, from the “Blue” era through global hits like “How Do I Live” and “Can’t Fight the Moonlight.”

Looking ahead, Rimes has a further North American date locked in for November 6 in Waukegan, Illinois, with organisers indicating additional stops will continue to be added to the schedule throughout the remainder of 2026 as the anniversary tour rolls on.

In short: the illness-driven cancellations from earlier this year were a short-term setback rather than a lasting disruption. Rimes has since completed her rescheduled U.S. dates, added an international leg in Australia, and has more shows confirmed into the autumn — a strong sign that, health permitting, the “30 Years of Blue” celebration is set to continue well into 2027.
