Jennifer Lopez cancels This Is Me…Now The Tour, including Acrisure Arena stop
Singer Jennifer Lopez announced Friday that she is canceling her upcoming tour, This Is Me…Now The Tour, which was scheduled to make a stop at Acrisure Arena on July 19.
The reason for the cancellation, according to the "Jenny From the Block" singer, is so she can take "time off to be with her children, family and close friends."
“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary," Lopez wrote on her website. "I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…"
The move comes after reports of low ticket sales for the tour, leading Lopez to cancel a number of shows in recent months.
The This Is Me…Now tour was meant to follow Lopez's new album, "This Is Me...Now," for which she also released the Amazon Prime Video documentary "This Is Me…Now: A Love Story." The album features themes of love and her reunion with actor Ben Affleck, who she married in 2022. It's also her first new record in a decade since "A.K.A." in 2014.
How to get a refund for your Jennifer Lopez tour ticket
Those who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster will automatically receive refunds. The refund will be processed to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, once funds are received from the event organizer, which is usually completed within 30 days.
Those who purchased via third-party resale sites, such as SeatGeek, StubHub or VividSeats, will need to reach out to their point of purchase for more details.
Other shows canceled at Acrisure Arena recently
Lopez is the latest Acrisure Arena show to be canceled.

The only upcoming show listed on the band's website is a July 6 performance during NASCAR’s Chicago street race that was not announced as part of the tour.
