Geordie Greep Cancels Four US Shows After Misconduct Allegation
Geordie Greep cancelled four US tour dates as of October 10 after allegations of sexual misconduct at a Vancouver show on October 8. The former Black Midi frontman denied the claim from the stage.

Programme
- Four US tour dates cancelled as of October 10
- Allegations raised at Vancouver show on October 8
- Two US dates remain scheduled: Des Moines and Omaha
- Greep addressed allegations on stage and denied wrongdoing
- Brief November European run continues unaffected
Geordie Greep cancelled four US tour dates as of October 10. The former Black Midi frontman dropped shows in Boise, Salt Lake City, Boulder, and Denver. Two US stops remain on the calendar: Des Moines and Omaha. A brief November European run also continues.
The cancellations follow allegations of sexual misconduct raised at a Vancouver show on October 8. An attendee distributed flyers at the venue naming the singer. Greep denied the allegation and addressed the claims from the stage that same evening. Pitchfork first reported the cancellations and reached out to his representatives for comment.
What did Greep say on stage?
Greep spoke before performing solo that night. "So essentially what happened last night, me and some of the band, we went out to some bars, we went around, we met people, and ended up in a situation where, really late at a house party, I got the wrong end of the stick with someone that was there, and I made a move, and it didn't come off and I really quickly, of course, apologized," he told the crowd.
He continued: "It was a complete misunderstanding on my part, and I felt extremely bad, and I feel extremely sorry, and am extremely upset about the whole situation. I would never rape a woman. I'm not a rapist. It's not how that went down."
Greep then played the set alone. He did not want his bandmates onstage that night. Proceeds from the gig will benefit an organization that supports victims of sexual violence.
Takeaway: Greep denied the allegation and reframed the incident as a misunderstanding while redirecting funds to a support charity.
Which dates remain on the calendar?
Two US stops survive: Des Moines and Omaha. A short November European swing also stands. As of October 10, the four removed dates no longer appear on the venues' websites. Greep has not released a separate written statement. His representatives had not responded at press time.
The math is stark: 67% of his scheduled US performances are now cancelled. One allegation erased four work days in four cities.
Takeaway: four of six scheduled US dates are off the calendar, alongside an intact European run.
What questions remain unanswered?
The flyer text has not been published in full. No named accuser has come forward publicly. The European dates face no announced changes as of October 10. Greep's representatives had not responded at press time.
The four cancellations removed a coherent western leg of the tour. Boise and Denver sat at the ends of that leg. Salt Lake City and Boulder fell in between. The surviving Des Moines and Omaha dates form a short Midwest run of two shows.
Greep's on-stage denial did not address the specific claims made on the flyer. That gap may shape how the story develops in the days ahead.
Takeaway: the tour proceeds under a cloud that Greep's on-stage denial alone may not lift.
