Alice in Chains canceled their tour kickoff show on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, due to a non-life-threatening medical emergency involving drummer Sean Kinney.
The announcement came shortly before the show was scheduled to begin, following the band’s soundcheck. The band stated that the emergency required them to cancel the performance and offered refunds at the point of purchase.
Alice in Chains had not played a live show since April 2024 at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas. The current tour includes several headlining and festival dates throughout May, and the band is scheduled to travel to the United Kingdom in July to perform at Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning reunion show in Birmingham.
Support on their headlining dates will come from Chained Saint, a teenage metal band whose debut album, Blindside, was produced by Alice in Chains frontman William DuVall.
Remaining 2025 Tour Dates:
May 10 – Camden, NJ @ WMMR 93.3 Philadelphia MMRBQ 2025
May 11 – Columbus, OH @ Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival 2025
May 13 – Nashville, TN @ The Pinnacle
