Cat was set to begin the How To Be Human tour at Glasgow’s O2 Academy on November 19, with dates following in Manchester, Brighton, Wolverhampton, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Bristol and London. However, she has now announced that shows have been moved to spring 2026.
In a statement on social media, the ‘Go’ singer said: “This album and tour mean the world to me. It’s been a massive journey getting ready to share How To Be Human with you. I can’t believe it’s nearly here!!
“But unfortunately the build-up has been a lot more intense than any of us expected, so myself and my team have made the difficult decision to move the How To Be Human Tour to April 2026. Touring is incredibly demanding mentally and physically, and I want to make sure I’m taking care of my wellbeing so I’m in the right headspace to give you the show you deserve.”
She added: “When I step on stage, I really want to feel my best and give you a night that feels worth every moment of waiting.”
The previous Wolverhampton date has been cancelled as a result of being unable to reschedule the show, and refunds are available from the point of purchase. However, a new date in Birmingham has been added, with tickets available for this from 10am on Wednesday, November 5.
