In a move described as an “honest look” at the reality of the touring market, the Pussycat Dolls have officially cancelled the North American leg of their PCD Forever reunion tour. The announcement, made via social media on Monday, May 4, confirms that the group—now a trio featuring Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, and Kimberly Wyatt—will scrap 32 of their 33 planned dates in the U.S. and Canada.
The cancellation follows weeks of reports regarding “sluggish” ticket sales, with some industry insiders suggesting that less than 10% of venue capacity had been reached in several major markets.
Despite the sweeping cancellations, the group will perform one final show in North America to honor their most loyal fanbase.
The WeHo Pride Slot: The trio will still take the stage at the OUTLOUD Music Festival during WeHo Pride in Los Angeles on June 6, 2026.
A “Chosen Family” Celebration: In their statement, the band called the LGBTQ+ community their “meaningful place” to celebrate, noting the decade-long support they have received from the community.
Refunds Issued: Fans who purchased tickets for the amphitheater and arena run—including dates at Madison Square Garden and Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre—will receive automatic refunds via Ticketmaster and AXS.
The tour, which featured special guests Lil’ Kim and Mýa, struggled to gain momentum from the moment it was announced in March.
The “Incomplete” Lineup: The decision to exclude original members Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta—who publicly expressed their disappointment at being left out—created a “resilience deficit” among nostalgic fans who wanted the full 2000s experience.
The “Dopamine Desert” of Pricing: Despite being included in Live Nation’s “$30 Summer of Live” promotion, the group failed to fill seats in large-scale venues, a sign of what critics call an “accountability rot” in over-ambitious tour routing for legacy acts.
The “Hormuz” of Competition: In a summer crowded with major tours and a fluctuating economy, the Pussycat Dolls found themselves in a “postcode lottery” of relevance, competing against younger pop titans and massive multi-genre festivals.
While the U.S. leg has been silenced, the “PCD Forever” dream remains alive across the Atlantic.
The UK/EU Sell-Outs: The group confirmed that their UK and European dates are still moving forward as planned. Several shows in London and Manchester are reportedly already sold out, suggesting a “golden tone” of support in the British market.
The “Club Song” Momentum: The group’s new single, “Club Song,” and the recent milestone of their “Buttons” video hitting 1 billion YouTube views, have seemingly sustained interest in the European market better than in North America.
As the RHS Wisley wisteria reaches full bloom and the Southbank Centre celebrates 75 years of artistic endurance, the Pussycat Dolls’ cancellation serves as a “milestone” for the 2026 touring industry.
“We have to protect our peace,” Kimberly Wyatt told reporters, explaining the decision to focus on quality over quantity. For Nicole Scherzinger, the shift from a global arena run to a more intimate European tour marks a “clinical” recalibration of her brand. With the King’s Speech on May 13 expected to highlight “Economic Stability,” the Dolls’ “honest look” at their numbers may be the most responsible move they’ve made in their 20-year history.
