Dexys, Kevin Rowland’s current version of Dexys Midnight Runners, were set to embark on their first North American tour in 40 years later this month, but it has now been canceled.

The band write: “It is with sadness that we announce that – due to circumstances beyond our control – Dexys’ November tour of the USA and Canada will no longer take place.”

“Dexys were really looking forward to playing for their North American fans, and are aware that those who bought tickets will be as disappointed by this news as we are,” the band continue. “Refunds are available at point of purchase.”

Dexys do say that they hope to return to North America as soon as they’re able.

All canceled dates are listed below.
