Demi Lovato is gearing up for a major return to the stage, but not without setting firmer boundaries first.
The singer announced Tuesday, Feb. 10, that five dates on their upcoming It’s Not That Deep Tour have been canceled as part of an effort to protect their health and sustain the demands of a full tour run. The update was shared directly with fans via Instagram Stories, where Lovato explained the decision came during early rehearsals and planning.
“My Lovatics — I am so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can,” Lovato wrote. “While starting to prepare for the tour, I realized that I have overextended what may be possible.”
A Schedule Reset, Not a Goodbye
The revised plan impacts shows in Nashville, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Denver and Charlotte. At this time, those dates will not be rescheduled. However, Lovato confirmed that the Orlando, Florida stop has been moved and will now serve as the official tour kickoff on April 13.
“To protect my health, and ensure I can give you my all at each show, I need to build in more time to rest and rehearse,” Lovato shared. “Ultimately, that means adjusting to a schedule that allows me to handle the entire run of the tour.”
Refunds for the canceled shows will be processed automatically through Ticketmaster and AXS, according to Lovato’s statement. Fans who purchased tickets through other vendors are advised to contact their original point of sale for details.
“I am so sad to say that I will no longer be able to see you on this tour,” Lovato added, addressing affected fans directly. “I am so sorry to those who planned to be there.”
A Major Moment in Demi’s Touring History
The It’s Not That Deep Tour marks Lovato’s first arena tour since 2018’s Tell Me You Love Me World Tour. That run was cut short after the singer was hospitalized following a nearly fatal overdose, an experience Lovato has since spoken about publicly and candidly.
In the years that followed, Lovato approached live performances with intention. Their 2022 tour supporting HOLY FVCK leaned into theaters, festivals and smaller venues, a deliberate shift that allowed for a more controlled environment and creative reset.
This next chapter signals growth, confidence and caution in equal measure. Rather than pushing through exhaustion, Lovato’s choice reflects a broader industry conversation around sustainability and artist wellness.
Looking Ahead
Despite the changes, excitement around the tour remains high. Rising pop artist Adéla is set to join Lovato as the opening act, and the revised schedule still promises a nationwide run anchored by larger venues and a new era of music.
“I am so excited for this tour and am looking forward to seeing so many of your faces singing with me,” Lovato wrote in closing. “Thank you for your support always. I love you and I cannot wait to see you soon.”
For fans, the message is clear: Demi Lovato isn’t stepping back, they’re setting themselves up to show up fully.
