Newsboys Announce Cancellation Of All Canada 2025 Tour Dates
Revered Christian band Newsboys has announced the cancellation of all planned Newsboys Canada 2025 tour dates, scheduled for May 31–June 16, 2025. The group released a full statement (which you can see below) citing issues with the tour promoter as the reason for the cancellation.
This decision was not made lightly. Over the past 13 months, our team worked diligently to honor the offer made by Faith Live Canada, the contracted promoter for the tour. Unfortunately, despite repeated efforts to hold this tour together, Faith Live has materially breached the agreement and failed to meet core obligations necessary to responsibly execute these events.
These breaches include:
• Failure to provide required artist deposits and confirm payment to support acts,
• Failure to coordinate technical production and logistics with venues,
• Failure to maintain communication with venue staff, artist management, and tour partners,
• And admission of an inability to refund ticket holders due to prior financial commitments.
We entered this agreement in good faith, relying on Faith Live’s representations of professionalism, stewardship, and readiness. Sadly, those expectations were not met. Our team consistently provided timely information and assets, riders, marketing support, updated marketing materials, and complete transparency. Yet even the most basic tasks required of the promoter were neglected or abandoned.
To be clear:
Newsboys has no access to ticket revenue, no control over ticketing systems, and no legal or financial role in ticket refunds. Those responsibilities rest solely with Faith Live Canada as the promoter of record.
We urge all affected fans to contact the original ticketing outlet or host venue regarding refund inquiries. If you experience difficulty securing a refund, we recommend contacting the appropriate provincial consumer protection office or the Competition Bureau of Canada.
We are heartbroken for our Canadian fans who were looking forward to these nights of worship and revival. We truly believe in what God is doing across Canada—and we remain committed to returning when the right doors are open and trustworthy partnerships are in place.
With respect,
Newsboys
