Country Star Forced to Cancel Entire Tour After Being Denied Entry to Canada

It’s an incident from 2014 that seems to be causing the issue. The singer wrote, “Everybody’s got a past. Mine’s still haunting me.”

If you are a Charley Crockett fan from Canada, then we have some bad news to share.

The “Lonesome Drifter” singer was initially forced to cancel the Feb. 21 Vancouver date of his 2026 North American tour.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, tonight’s Charley Crockett show at the Orpheum in Vancouver is postponed,” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced. More information will be emailed to ticketholders directly when available.”

But now it looks like Crockett will have to cancel the entire Canadian leg of the tour. We have the details below.

Charley Crockett Can’t Get Into Canada

Crockett later shared that he is unable to cross the border into Canada. He was scheduled to perform in Edmonton, Alberta, tonight. The other affected dates include:

Feb. 26 — Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Feb. 28 — Winnipeg, Manitoba
March 1 — Windsor, Ontario
March 2 — Toronto, Ontario
March 3 — Ottawa, Ontario
March 5 — Montreal, Quebec City
March 6 — Niagara Falls, Ontario

The announcement was accompanied by a copy of the singer’s immigration report.

“Everybody’s got a past,” he wrote. “Mine’s still haunting me. I tried to cross the Canadian border twice in 24 hours. After they denied me entry in Vancouver, I tried again in Kelowna and was rejected a 2nd time. I’ve been advised that it would jeopardize my freedom to try and enter again. I’m deeply sorry to announce the cancellation of my entire Canadian Tour.”

What Are the Charges Against Crockett?

Per the immigration report, the reason why Crockett is unable to enter Canada is because of a 2014 arrest for felony possession and trafficking of more than five pounds of marijuana. The incident took place on Highway 81 in Virginia. He then sent the judge his music and begged him not to let the arrest hold back his career. Obviously, it worked.

He commented on the incident two weeks ago in response to President Donald Trump’s apparent disdain for Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

“Forgive me if I have a problem with a 34 time convicted felon running this country when I lost the right to vote or own a weapon for years over marijuana,” he wrote. “As long as you’re hating the oppressed and loving your oppressor you’ll never know why our generation is poorer than our parents and grandparents.”
