Todd Snider Cancels Tour After Reported Assault and Arrest Following Hospital Disturbance

Authorities booked and released the singer in Salt Lake County as investigators seek more details on the alleged attack amid conflicting police accounts.

Overview

  • Snider’s management said he suffered severe injuries in a violent assault outside his Salt Lake City hotel, prompting cancellation of all remaining 2025 dates.
  • His Nov. 1 South Salt Lake show at the Commonwealth Room was called off minutes before doors during the second stop of a tour that began in Colorado days earlier.
  • Police and jail records show he was arrested Nov. 2 after returning to Holy Cross Hospital and allegedly threatening staff, then released early Nov. 3 on his own recognizance.
  • The South Salt Lake Police Department says officers responded to a report of an alleged assault on a 59-year-old male but obtained limited information and urged witnesses to come forward.
  • A Salt Lake City police spokesperson initially reported no assault record under Snider’s name, and Snider’s publicist said he has been treated for his injuries and is expected to fully recover, with ticket refunds being processed by outlets.
