Geordie Greep has cancelled four performances on his US tour following allegations of sexual misconduct made against the singer, which he has denied. As of October 10, the former Black Midi frontman’s sets in Boise, Salt Lake City, Boulder, and Denver have either been listed as cancelled on each venue’s website or no longer appear. Two remaining US performances, in Des Moines and Omaha, are still scheduled to take place, as is a brief November run in Europe.
Greep has not released a statement on the cancellations. Pitchfork has reached out to his reps for comment. The cancellations arrive after allegations were made against Greep at a show in Vancouver on October 8, where an attendee handed out flyers that claimed the singer committed an act of sexual misconduct.
Greep later addressed the allegations on stage. I would never rape a woman. It’s not how that went down.” He added that he would perform the show solo in order not to force the band to play “in light of [what was] happening,” and that proceeds from the gig would benefit an organization that supports victims of sexual violence.
