Geordie Greep Cancels Four Tour Dates After Sexual Misconduct Allegation

Geordie Greep has canceled four North American tour dates after a sexual misconduct allegation surfaced outside his Vancouver show on Thursday. The singer denied the accusation from the stage.

The canceled shows include Friday's concert in Boise, Idaho, Saturday's in Salt Lake City, Utah, and next week's dates in Boulder and Denver, Colorado. Ticket buyers received refund notifications without any further statement from Greep or his team.

At press time, the final two shows of the North American run — in Des Moines, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebraska — had not been canceled, and tickets remained on sale. Greep is also still scheduled to begin a European tour on November 1.

What happened in Vancouver?

The incident began Thursday outside the Pearl venue in Vancouver, British Columbia, where a person handed flyers to arriving concertgoers. The flyers read: "Geordie Greep A Rapist. You know what you did this morning Oct 8th. He thinks he can do what he wants. Let Him Know What Vancouver Thinks of Rapists."

Greep took the stage an hour later than scheduled and without his backing band. He opened the show by addressing the accusation directly.

"So essentially what happened last night, me and some of the band we went out to some bars, we went out, we met people, and it ended up in a situation where, really late at a house party, I got the wrong end of the stick with someone who was there, and I made a move, and it didn't come off," Greep told the crowd.

He continued: "I really quickly apologized, and it was a complete misunderstanding on my part, and I felt extremely bad, I feel extremely sorry, and extremely upset about the whole situation. I would never rape a woman. I'm not a rapist. It's not how that went down."

Why did he perform solo?

Greep said he would perform the Vancouver show alone because he "didn't want to force [his band] to still play a show in the light of that happening." He also announced that proceeds from Thursday's gig would go to a Vancouver organization supporting victims of sexual violence.

The cascading cancellations followed within a day. No promoter, venue, or venue operator has issued a public statement explaining the decisions, and Greep has not commented beyond his remarks to the Vancouver audience.

The allegation now hangs over the remaining itinerary. Whether the Des Moines and Omaha shows proceed — and whether the November 1 European tour launches as planned — will indicate how far the fallout extends.
