Once one of the biggest pop girl groups of the 2000s, The Pussycat Dolls have made the difficult call to cancel nearly all North American stops on their highly anticipated reunion tour, a move driven by lackluster ticket demand that has left fans across the United States and Canada disappointed.
Earlier this 2025, three core founding members — Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt — thrilled long-time followers by announcing their musical comeback, paired with a brand new single and a sprawling global tour that was set to kick off the first leg in North America this summer. What was meant to be a triumphant return to home crowds quickly shifted, however, after the trio released an official statement acknowledging that after a transparent review of tour logistics and sales data, they had arrived at the heartbreaking decision to ax all but one of their scheduled 33 US and Canadian dates planned for June, July, and August.
The only North American performance that will move forward as planned is the group’s upcoming set at WeHo Pride in Los Angeles, scheduled for June 6. In their statement, the group noted that there could be no more fitting or meaningful venue to connect with their local supporters, highlighting that the LGBTQ+ community has extended unwavering love and support to The Pussycat Dolls throughout their decades-long career.
For fans across the Atlantic, however, all planned European tour dates — including nine stops across the UK and Ireland — will proceed exactly as originally scheduled. Unlike the slow North American sales, many of these European shows have already sold out completely, a testament to the group’s enduring popularity in the region. The European leg is set to launch in Copenhagen this coming September, and the trio confirmed they are pouring all their energy into crafting an unforgettable experience for both long-time fans who have followed their career since the 2000s and new listeners discovering their discography for the first time. The tour will wrap up on October 13 at London’s iconic O2 Arena, with stopovers in major cities including Birmingham, Nottingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle, and Manchester along the way.
Industry observers have pointed to multiple key factors behind the poor North American ticket sales. Weeks before the official cancellation, fans already began speculating about the leg’s fate after leaked venue seating charts revealed huge blocks of unsold tickets across most scheduled stops. Analysts cite two primary issues: unusually high price points for tickets, and the decision to book the tour exclusively in large arenas rather than smaller, more intimate theaters that would have better matched projected demand. It is also worth noting that The Pussycat Dolls have long maintained a particularly strong fanbase in Europe, where they topped charts multiple times during their commercial peak; additionally, both Roberts and Wyatt currently reside in the UK, boosting local interest in the tour.
North American ticket holders will receive full automatic refunds for purchases made through major official platforms including Ticketmaster and AXS, while fans who bought tickets via third-party resale sites have been instructed to reach out directly to their original point of purchase to process refunds.
The cancellation of The Pussycat Dolls’ US tour is far from an isolated incident in the current live music market. In recent months, multiple other high-profile artists including Post Malone and Meghan Trainor have also postponed or canceled entire legs of North American tours, signaling ongoing shifts in consumer demand for large-scale live pop events. This comeback attempt marks the group’s second attempt to reunite after a planned 2019 reunion was derailed first by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and later by a messy internal legal dispute that delayed the project for six years. The current comeback comes on the heels of a career high for lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, who earned widespread critical acclaim and multiple major award nominations for her lead role in the hit West End and Broadway production of *Sunset Boulevard*.
