Citing the ongoing potential for lethal and destructive weather across the U.S., the Steve Miller Band has canceled its fall 2025 tour, including an Oct. 5 concert at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood.
Tickets for that concert were nearly sold out, with just a few dozen seats remaining. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.
The decision was explained late Wednesday night in social media posts. The same message appears on the band’s official website, SteveMillerBand.com.
“You make music with your instincts. You live your life by your instincts. Always trust your instincts,” the announcement stated. “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.”
Miller, who grew up in Dallas, made the call to cancel the tour less than two weeks after historic flooding in the Texas Hill Country killed at least 134 people.
The Steve Miller Band concert at Hard Rock Live was scheduled to take place four days before the anniversary of Hurricane Milton, a destructive storm that made landfall near Siesta Key on Oct. 9, 2024, causing more than $34 billion in damage.
The tour, announced in May, included 31 stops beginning Aug. 15 in Bethel, New York, and concluding in Anaheim, California, on Nov. 8. For more information, visit MyHRL.com.
