CMAT Postpones October UK Tour Due to Wisdom Tooth Surgery

CMAT shares she can't even open her mouth wide enough to laugh, let alone sing, as she delays her UK tour for recovery.

When a Wisdom Tooth Sidelines a Rising Star

It’s a bummer when unexpected health hiccups throw a wrench in your plans—especially when those plans involve the electrifying performances of CMAT, one of the freshest voices exploding onto the UK music scene. Fans eagerly awaiting her October tour dates were hit with the disappointing news that the entire tour has been postponed due to emergency wisdom tooth surgery.

Set to kick off on October 4, the trek was to sail through iconic cities like Manchester, Brighton, Sheffield, and Cardiff, showcasing tracks from her latest album, Euro-Country. But a sudden infection forced CMAT to cancel, sharing her situation with honesty and warmth on Instagram just days before the first show.

The Heartfelt Announcement

CMAT’s Instagram post revealed the painful reality: “I am devastated to say that due to an infected wisdom tooth I need to reschedule all of my upcoming dates of the October UK tour.” The musician explained waking up with throbbing jaw pain led to an emergency dental visit, where surgery was scheduled to remove both lower wisdom teeth. Antibiotics are in play to tackle the infection, but recovery will take time.

She added, “I am told the recovery period for my surgery is two weeks to allow me to heal, with a following short period to allow me to get back to full health. We are working to reschedule dates and will provide information on this as soon as possible.”

For fans clutching their tickets, CMAT assured, “All tickets will be valid for the new dates,” and expressed deep apologies for any inconvenience caused. Her pain is palpable: “I am in so much pain right now that I can barely think straight enough to type. All I can do is lie in bed watching The Osbournes and dream about making it up to you all in the very near future. I love to sing so much.”

“I currently can’t even open my mouth wide enough to laugh, let alone sing.”

Euro-Country: A Triumph Interrupted

The timing couldn't be more bittersweet. Euro-Country, CMAT’s 2025 album, recently earned a prestigious Mercury Prize nomination, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with heavy hitters like Fontaines D.C.’s Romance, Pulp’s comeback More, and FKA Twigs’ Eusexua. The album’s candid charm and witty storytelling have won over critics and fans alike.

The album review praised CMAT’s unique blend of honesty and humor, noting: "Modernity has failed us, but that won’t stop Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson. That’s the CMAT way in 2025: approach with absolute confidence, total honesty is the only option, and you might as well have a laugh and shake your bits while you’re at it."

“‘Euro-Country’ has the courage and the consistency to land high on the fast-approaching end-of-year lists, and to make CMAT the icon she’s been giving all this time.”

It’s a shining moment for CMAT’s career, which now pauses briefly—wisdom tooth woes and all.

CMAT’s US TV Debut and Viral Dance Craze

Not one to be held back for long, CMAT made waves last month by debuting on American TV with a charming performance of her hit “Take A Sexy Picture Of Me” on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The track has sparked a viral TikTok dance challenge affectionately dubbed the “woke macarena,” with stars like Amelia Dimoldenberg, Julia Fox, Cher Lloyd, and Lola Young joining in.

The infectious verse at the heart of the dance goes:

“I did the butcher, I did the baker / I did the home and the family maker / I did school girl fantasies / Oh, I did leg things and hand stuff / And single woman banter / Now tell me, what was in it for me?”

It’s this playful yet sharp lyricism that keeps CMAT’s fans hooked and the dance floors buzzing.

Looking Forward: 2026 UK & Ireland Tour

While October’s shows are on hold, CMAT has already announced a major UK and Ireland headline tour for 2026. Starting in Edinburgh on March 7, the tour will hit fan-favorite cities including Brighton, Manchester, Dublin, and Cork. The highlight? A grand performance at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace on March 13.

This upcoming tour promises to be CMAT’s biggest yet, a testament to her rising star power and growing fanbase.

The Glastonbury Glow-Up

If you caught her unforgettable Glastonbury 2025 performance, you know CMAT has that rare magic. She revealed the intense nerves she felt leading up to the Pyramid Stage set: “I didn’t sleep” before the show. But once on stage, she captured the spirit of the festival and set the bar sky-high for the weekend.

Her performance earned a glowing five-star review, hailed as one of the most unforgettable moments at Worthy Farm that year. It was a defining moment that showcased her charisma and talent.
