Dear Steve Miller Band fans,

You make music with your instincts

You live your life by your instincts

Always trust your instincts…


The Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour dates.

The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive

forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. So…

You can blame it on the weather...The tour is cancelled.


Don’t know where, don’t know when… We hope to see you all again.


Wishing you all Peace, Love and Happiness,

Please take care of each other.



Steve, The Band and the Crew
