Overview

• Yelle officially called off its Fall 2025 North American tour on July 16 after announcing the decision via Instagram.
• The band described the US political climate as “very worrying,” specifically pointing to restrictive immigration measures and threats to freedom of speech.
• Yelle said escalating costs and the need to ensure safety for their young child made the tour financially and logistically unsustainable.
• This cancellation follows other artists’ withdrawals, including Matthew Good’s US dates and entry denials for the U.K. Subs, highlighting growing barriers for international acts.
• Since President Trump’s return to office, stricter border checks, higher withholding taxes and new USCIS policies have prompted visa revocations for groups such as Grupo Firme and Bob Vylan.
