As many of you know, back in December 2025, The Residents were forced to delay their North American tour celebrating their landmark album, Eskimo. The reason was that one of the individuals involved in the upcoming tour experienced unexpected and serious health-related issues. This decision follows careful consideration and consultation, with everyone's well-being as the top priority.
We are happy to report that this individual is doing much better and is well on their way to a full recovery. Thanks to all of you who sent your well wishes. It will still be some time before activities can fully resume, but we hope to be able to make announcements about rescheduled tour dates very soon.
We look forward to seeing you all later in 2026.
It is with deep regret that we must announce the postponement of The Residents' Eskimo tour.
Due to an unexpected and serious health-related matter within the band's camp, we have made the decision to reschedule the tour for later in 2026. This decision follows careful consideration and consultation, with everyone's well-being as the top priority.
The Residents remain very eager to bring this album to the stage and fully intend to do so once circumstances allow. We are optimistic about the road ahead and appreciate the understanding and support as plans are adjusted.
We look forward to seeing you all later in 2026.
