Salt Lake City, Utah – Singer-songwriter Todd Snider has canceled several upcoming tour dates following an alleged attack outside his hotel on Halloween. The 59-year-old country artist reported suffering significant injuries as a result of the incident, prompting team members to announce the cancellation of the remainder of his High, Lonesome and Then Some 2025 Tour.
In a message posted on Instagram, Snider’s team expressed their deep regret over the tour’s disruption, stating he would be unable to perform for an indefinite period. The cancellations include shows scheduled in San Francisco on November 5 and at Napa’s Uptown Theatre on November 7, with plans for further performances across California, Oregon, Washington, and Montana now in jeopardy.
The situation escalated further for Snider days after the alleged assault when he was taken into custody following a reported disturbance. Authorities indicated that he became confrontational and made threats toward hospital staff after being discharged from a Salt Lake City medical facility. He now faces multiple charges, including disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.
Snider, known for hits like “Beer Run” and “Can’t Complain,” has built a loyal following since his debut album, Songs for the Daily Planet, was released in 1994. Over the years, he has garnered critical acclaim, including getting inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2021. His most recent work, High, Lonesome and Then Some, debuted just last month.
As a prominent figure in the folk and country music scenes, Snider’s abrupt tour halt has left fans disappointed. His team has conveyed apologies to followers who were looking forward to upcoming shows, emphasizing their concern for his well-being during this challenging time.
While details about the alleged assault remain unclear, Snider’s legal troubles add another layer of complexity to his current predicament. As he navigates recovery and the aftermath of these events, both his supporters and the music community will be closely monitoring his progress.
