Steve Miller Band cancels 2025 tour, including NYS Fair show, blames the weather

The Steve Miller Band, scheduled to play the New York State Fair and two other Upstate New York concerts next month, announced the cancellation of their entire 2025 tour on Wednesday night and blamed … the weather.

The band made the announcement on social media Wednesday night. The band had 31 dates scheduled this year, starting with an Aug. 15 show in Bethel Woods, N.Y., and ending with a show in Anaheim, Calif., on Nov. 8, according to Pollstar.

The band was scheduled to perform in Syracuse at the State Fair’s Suburban Park stage on Aug. 21, and the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casinos in Salamanca on Aug. 30.

The band’s website now lists no tour dates. Instead, it has this note:

“Dear Steve Miller Band fans,

You make music with your instincts

You live your life by your instincts

Always trust your instincts …

The Steve Miller Band has cancelled all of our upcoming tour dates.

The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable. So …

You can blame it on the weather … The tour is cancelled.

Don’t know where, don’t know when … We hope to see you all again.

Wishing you all Peace, Love and Happiness,

Please take care of each other.

Steve, The Band and the Crew”

The band drew one of the largest crowds in State Fair concert history with 36,900 fans in 2015. Miller was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

The 2025 New York State Fair runs from Wednesday, Aug. 20, through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 1.
