Julien Baker and Torres cancel gigs due to concussion

Julien Baker and Torres have had to cancel upcoming performances due to one of their "key members" sustaining a concussion.

The country duo announced the cancellation of shows at Ohio University and Knoxville's Big Ears Festival this coming weekend.

"Over the weekend one of our key members sustained a concussion and will need to take the next few weeks to recover," the pair posted to Instagram.

"We share your disappointment at this news. Our team is in the process of updating programming with announcements coming shortly. All ticket holders will be fully refunded. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this unfortunate cancellation."

The news comes as Baker and Torres shared their haunting new single Dirt, from their forthcoming collaborative album Send A Prayer My Way.

The acoustic-driven ballad marks the fourth single to be released from their upcoming album, which is set for release on 18 April.

Baker has received six Grammy Award nominations and three wins as a member of indie supergroup Boygenius alongside Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus.

After duetting a couple of songs together at Baker's 2024 New York shows, she and musician Torres were announced as a joint act on the lineup of several festivals for 2025.
