Geordie Greep has canceled upcoming U.S. shows in Boise, Salt Lake City, Boulder and Denver after a sexual misconduct allegation surfaced outside his Vancouver concert. At that show, Greep said he had made an unwanted move at a house party and apologized, while denying that he raped anyone. The status of his Omaha concert and European dates has not been confirmed.
Geordie Greep has canceled upcoming U.S. tour dates in Boise, Salt Lake City, Boulder and Denver after an allegation of sexual misconduct was publicized outside his Oct. 8 concert in Vancouver. The former Black Midi singer and guitarist addressed the allegation onstage in Vancouver, describing an encounter at a house party and apologizing, while saying he would never rape anyone. The cancellations were communicated to ticket-holders by venues, according to Stereogum; Greep did not accompany them with a public explanation.
Flyers handed to fans outside the Vancouver show accused Greep of sexual assault. They called him a rapist and included the message, “You know what you did this morning Oct 8th.” The flyers’ claims are allegations; the report does not identify who distributed them or provide further details about the alleged incident.
Greep’s Vancouver performance was delayed by almost two hours. He played a shortened set without his band after speaking to the audience. In his remarks, he said he had been at a house party, had “made a move,” and that it “didn’t come off.” He said he apologized quickly, called the encounter a misunderstanding on his part and said he felt sorry and upset. He denied being a rapist.
The canceled shows were scheduled for Boise, Salt Lake City, Boulder and Denver. According to Stereogum, ticket-holders learned of the cancellations through emails from the venues. The report says Greep did not publicly acknowledge the cancellations at the time. The status of other dates was not confirmed in the report.
Four Tour Stops Are Off
The cancellations mean fans in four cities will not see the scheduled performances, and ticket-holders will need to rely on venue communications for information about refunds or other arrangements. The cancellations also leave the remainder of Greep’s touring schedule in question, though they do not by themselves confirm that every upcoming performance has been called off.
The episode has unfolded through distinct, partly separate developments: an allegation made on flyers, Greep’s account of an encounter and denial of rape, and venue notices canceling four shows. Keeping those points separate matters: the allegation is not a finding of fact, and the stated reason for the tour cancellations has not been publicly explained by Greep in the material available.

What Happened in Vancouver
The Vancouver concert was the setting for both the public allegation and Greep’s response. The flyers were distributed outside the venue on Oct. 8, the same date referenced in their message. After the show was delayed nearly two hours, Greep performed an abbreviated set without his band and addressed the situation from the stage.
Greep previously played in the British band Black Midi and has released music as a solo artist. The immediate tour schedule included additional U.S. concerts after Vancouver, as well as European dates expected to begin the following month, according to Stereogum. That report identified the Boise, Salt Lake City, Boulder and Denver shows as canceled, but did not say that the European run had been called off.
““I made a move, and it didn’t come off, and I really quickly, of course, apologized.””

Omaha and Europe Remain Unclear
The source report does not establish who made the allegation, provide an account from the person who may have been involved, or describe any police report or legal action. It is also unclear what Greep’s reference to a house party concerns beyond the brief remarks reported from the Vancouver stage. The allegation should not be treated as a confirmed finding.
The Omaha concert scheduled for Oct. 14 at The Slowdown had no cancellation notice at the time of Stereogum’s report. Greep’s European dates, set to begin the following month, also had no reported update. The reason for the four U.S. cancellations and whether they are connected to the allegation were not confirmed in the source material.

Watch for Venue Updates
Ticket-holders should check messages from the venues and official ticket providers for cancellation, refund or rescheduling details; the source report does not specify those arrangements. The next reported date to watch is the Omaha show on Oct. 14, which had no cancellation notice at the time of publication. Updates on the European dates may clarify whether the disruption is limited to the canceled U.S. shows.
Further statements from Greep, venues or other parties could add information about the cancellations and the allegation. Until then, the reported facts are that four U.S. dates were canceled, flyers made an accusation outside the Vancouver show, and Greep gave an onstage account that included an apology and a denial of rape.
