Julien Baker and Torres have officially canceled their 2025 "Send a Prayer My Way" headlining tour.

The announcement came on Sunday, May 4, 2025, hours before the duo was set to perform in San Antonio, Texas. They shared a statement on their social media pages.

The reason for the cancellation was attributed to Julien Baker prioritizing her well-being and focusing on her health. The decision follows earlier show cancellations in March related to a reported concussion within their touring party.

Julien Baker posted the cancellation announcement on her official Instagram page. The post read:

"Due to recent events, Julien Baker is prioritizing her well-being and taking time to focus on her health. Therefore, the Julien Baker & TORRES 'Send A Prayer My Way' Tour has been canceled."

It continued:

"This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment this may cause for fans. We deeply appreciate your understanding. Refunds and ticketing information will be provided by the original point of purchase. Thank you for your continued support and compassion."

Though the tour has ended prematurely, both artists have stressed the importance of putting health first. They emphasized that the choice was not made lightly.

The cancellation affects a string of solo performances that were scheduled to continue throughout the summer. However, the duo still remains booked for a number of music festivals in the coming months. They also recently released a collaborative country album Send a Prayer My Way. It was nearly a decade in the making, reports suggest.
