COLD have announced a series of changes to their Spring 2026 touring plans, with several shows being rescheduled and others canceled as the band deals with ongoing family health issues.
Frontman Scooter Ward shared a heartfelt message explaining the situation, emphasizing that the decision was not made lightly. He noted that while canceling or postponing shows is never easy, family must come first—especially when unexpected health concerns arise.
Ward revealed that his mother suffered a major stroke earlier this year while he was visiting family over the holidays. Though she has since pulled through, her recovery has been challenging. The singer extended his stay to support his parents during this difficult time, ultimately leading to the delay of the tour’s start. While some dates could be successfully rescheduled, others unfortunately had to be dropped altogether.
The changes affect shows originally scheduled between April 15 and May 2.
Rescheduled dates:
- April 25 – Flint, MI @ Machine Shop (originally April 15)
- June 21 – Iowa City, IA @ Wildwood (originally April 17)
- June 23 – Minneapolis, MN @ Turf Club (originally April 19, previously at Fine Line)
- June 24 – Chicago, IL @ Bottom Lounge (originally April 16)
All previously purchased tickets and VIP packages for these dates will remain valid for the new shows.
Canceled dates:
- April 18 – Omaha, NE
- April 20 – Sioux Falls, SD
- April 22 – Colorado Springs, CO
- April 23 – Denver, CO

Ward closed his message by thanking fans for their understanding and support, while apologizing for any inconvenience caused.
