Alison Krauss & Union Station Scrap Tour Dates for Vocal Rest
Alison Krauss & Union Station have canceled multiple upcoming concerts on their Arcadia Tour because Krauss has been placed on vocal rest by medical professionals. The cancellations affect shows from September 11 through early October, including three nights at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Tickets will be fully refunded, and the group hopes to return to those cities later.
The tour disruption spans more than a dozen performances, starting with a September 11 stop in Iowa and extending through early October across multiple states, including three consecutive nights at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Organizers have assured ticketholders of complete refunds and directed them to their original purchase points for inquiries.
This setback follows the ensemble's recent release of *Arcadia*, their first studio effort in nearly fourteen years. The group and its members also hold several nominations at the upcoming IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards, including entertainer of the year and multiple instrumentalist categories.
The cancellations could disappoint fans who had planned travel and lodging for the affected dates, particularly those attending the Ryman residency. For the broader bluegrass community, the hiatus may highlight the physical demands of touring on vocalists. Additionally, the postponement might affect the group's momentum heading into the IBMA awards, though prioritizing health could ultimately preserve their long-term performance capabilities.
