Alanis Morissette has postponed her previously rescheduled UK and European tour, which was set to celebrate 25 years of her seminal album Jagged Little Pill.
The shows were originally planned to take place in Autumn 2020, but were moved to October 2021. After that they were then moved to November because of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, yet again Morissette has been unable to go ahead with the tour. She has now announced that the gigs have again been postponed due to COVID travel restrictions. The new dates are also not yet confirmed.
The American singer/somgwriter posted on her social media accounts “Europe & UK missing you so much, traveling overseas from country to country is becoming increasingly challenging with three kids during a time like no other on this beautiful planet.”

She then added in a Twitter thread “I know things will shift – but for this moment – i am heartbroken to say that we have to postpone the upcoming UK and Europe shows in october & november 2021.” She continued “Stay tuned for the rescheduled dates (coming very soon), and please hold onto your tickets as they will be valid for the new ones. i can’t wait to see you each as soon as we possibly can.”

Morissette shares her children with hip hop star Souleye (Mario Treadway) and was set to visit Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, London and Dublin on her tour. She was also due to play a number of European cities.
The Australian and New Zealand parts of the Jagged Little Pill shows were also previously rescheduled and will now take place next year in November 2022.
Morissette had Liz Phair scheduled as her support on the tour alongside Garbage. However Phair pulled out of the ‘Jagged Little Pill’ celebration due to “unforeseen circumstances”; and was replaced by Cat Power.
Phair wrote on her social media “Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, I won’t be able to join Alanis & Garbage on tour this summer,” Phair wrote on social media. “I’m incredibly disappointed as I was looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful faces.”
She then continued “Shoutout to Alanis, Garbage, and Cat Power, who I know will put on an incredible show. Hope to see you all soon.”
The news of the tours postponement comes just days after Alanis performed at the Hollywood Bowl in California this week.
