Singer-songwriter Todd Snider has cancelled all dates of his “High, Lonesome and Then Some” 2025 tour following a violent assault in Salt Lake City that left him with serious injuries. The acclaimed musician, known for his unique blend of country, folk, alternative, and blues, was reportedly arrested and later released just hours after the incident.
According to Salt Lake County jail records, Snider was arrested around 7:10 PM on Sunday, November 2, and released on no recognisance before 3 AM on Monday, November 3 — meaning he wasn’t required to pay bail but promised to appear in court.
Shortly after his release, Snider’s team took to social media to announce the cancellation of his ongoing tour. “We are heartbroken to announce the cancellation of the High, Lonesome and Then Some 2025 tour dates,” the statement read. “Ahead of Todd Snider’s show in Salt Lake City, Todd sustained severe injuries as the victim of a violent assault outside of his hotel.”
The statement added, “Todd will be unable to perform for an undetermined amount of time. We deeply apologise for the cancellation and any inconvenience it causes. We appreciate your understanding as Todd receives needed medical treatment. We hope to have more information on new dates soon.”
Snider’s tour was in support of his latest album, High, Lonesome and Then Some, released on October 17, 2025. Speaking about the project earlier, Snider shared, “Recently, I heard someone say, ‘If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention,’ so I tried it — and so far, so good. These are songs seeking soul, soulmate, maker, making out and mercy. The muse for this record was the sound of it. We made it on purpose.”
The singer had performed only one show from the tour — in Englewood on October 30 — before the assault occurred. He was scheduled to play across multiple U.S. cities, wrapping up on November 16, but the tour has now been completely scrapped.
Fans have flooded social media with messages of support, wishing Snider a full and speedy recovery.
Final Words:
Todd Snider’s sudden cancellation comes as a shock to fans who were eager to see the veteran musician return to stage with his new album. While the details surrounding the assault remain unclear, Snider’s health and safety remain the top priority. Here’s hoping the singer heals soon and returns stronger than ever.
