FKA twigs joins growing list of US Visa Related Tour Cancellations
Cancelled FKA twigs shows include Chicago, Toronto and New York. Her last United States performances were in 2019.
“Today, I was informed that production did not fill out the correct paperwork in a timely manner for us to have our visas to come to the U.S.A. and perform,” she said in a video. “By no choice of my own, I will have to pull out of my New York, Chicago, and Toronto shows.”
“I’m looking into how and why this happened, and I’m making sure that I have the support to correct this,” she continued, “so with that being said, I will be rescheduling these shows, and information will be coming on that very shortly. I can’t wait to bring Eusexua to you.”

Growing List of Tour Cancellations
FKA twigs is just the latest artist to cancel or postpone US tour dates because of visa and paperwork delays and outright rejections since President Trump made entering the US much more difficult and gutted related agency staff.
Last week three members of the UK Subs were detained and returned to the UK after flying to Los Angeles for a gig. The K-pop group KARD also canceled their entire 2025 US tour due to visa problems.
Other artists, including the Canadian metal band Respire and the Swedish rapper Bladee, have also been affected by visa issues, with Respire canceling their tour and Bladee delaying his.
Other artists like Hungarian-born pianist András Schiff, have also cited political factors as a reason for canceling their U.S. tours.
Higher fees hurt small and mid-tier artists
Recent changes to the US visa system, including increased fees and longer processing times, are contributing to the problem.
Last April, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) introduced a visa fee increase on April 1, 2024, raising the cost from $460 to over $1,615 per musician application.
The increased costs and delays disproportionately affect small and mid-tier artists who may not have the resources to expedite visa processing or book tour dates far in advance.
