SOHN has cancelled his forthcoming UK tour, citing low ticket sales and the current uncertainty surrounding the live music industry.The London artist, real name Christopher Taylor, had been due to embark on the tour in Glasgow on November 13, with the UK and Ireland leg of the ‘Trust’ tour wrapping up in London on November 19.Taylor announced over the weekend, however, that he has now been forced to cancel his upcoming UK dates. The only exception is the London show, which will now take place at the Electric Ballroom on November 19.“I’ve been thinking about how best to communicate this and I thought the most respectful way is just to be as transparent as possible,” Taylor wrote in a statement on Instagram.
“The bottom line is simply not enough tickets have been sold in the towns outside of London. I’ve not played in most of these places before (or in a very long time) and we attempted to do a UK tour in good faith, but now it seems just too big a risk to try to play these shows.“You may already be aware that we are in a really difficult period for live music ticket sales – in my opinion there are many reasons.
After a couple of years of no live music so many acts are touring at the same time, I think in the boom years tickets became disrespectfully expensive, I think COVID got us used to staying at home, a lot of my audience probably became new parents (me included) and there is financial instability everywhere. Most tours out there are suffering in some way, even though social media makes it look like they’re not.”A post shared by SOHN (@sohn)Taylor continued: “When tickets don’t sell, everybody down the chain loses money – artists, promoters, live music venues and staff.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter After two years of upheaval and unfamiliarity at the box office, there’s something refreshingly familiar about the theatrical release of “Tár.” The acclaimed movie, directed by Todd Fields and starring Cate Blanchett as a world-famous conductor embroiled in a controversy of her own making, generated a stellar $160,000 from four theaters (two in New York City and two in Los Angeles) over the weekend, averaging a mighty $40,000 per location. Next weekend, it’s expanding its theater count (ever so slightly), to 30 new venues in 10 domestic markets. That kind of steady and deliberately paced rollout, one that relies almost entirely on positive word-of-mouth, is about as traditional as it gets for an arthouse film. Yet for most of the pandemic, it was rendered obsolete.
