CMAT, an infected wisdom tooth, caused an infected wisdom tooth to make her upcoming UK tour impossible to ignore. She woke up with a “throbbing” jaw pain.
Irish singer CMAT has been forced to postpone her sold-out UK tour due to an emergency dental issue. The musician, whose real name is Ciara Mary‐Alice Thompson, was set to kick off the shows in October following the release of her highly praised third album, Euro‐Country.
In a statement on Instagram on Wednesday night, the Dublin‐born artist explained she couldn’t perform because of a painful, infected wisdom tooth. “I am devastated to say that due to an infected wisdom tooth, I need to reschedule all of my upcoming dates of the October UK tour,” she penned.
According to CMAT, she had a “throbbing” pain in her jaw when she woke up, which required an emergency trip to the dentist. She will need about two weeks of recovery time since her surgery is scheduled for the following week.

She shared a picture of her swollen cheek, saying, “I can’t even open my mouth wide enough to laugh, let alone sing.”
I’ll also be unable to chew any food for the foreseeable, so if anyone has any suggestions for ice cream and/or soup, please let me know. “!.
Fans were made to feel sorry for the singer for postponing the upcoming dates. All tickets will be honored for the new dates, and those who can’t make it are encouraged to contact their ticket seller for a refund.
The tour was meant to include performances in London, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, and Glasgow over the next week. She concluded: “We are working to reschedule dates and will provide information on this as soon as possible.”

Her Euro-Country album debuted at number two in the UK and topped the Irish album charts during a historic year for the artist. She won widespread praise for her performance on Glastonbury’s main stage in June, and the concert was attended by thousands.
Following the performance, CMAT confessed to BBC Radio 6 Music: “It’s worth noting that the two days beforehand, I was acting like someone who was about to go into war.” She added: “I was shaking with the fear. I couldn’t talk to anyone, I didn’t sleep, like I was ill.”
In 2022, CMAT released her debut album If My Wife New I’d Be Dead, and in 2023, she followed it up with Crazymad, For Me, both of which won the Mercury Prize.
The singer’s single Euro-Country, which was originally broadcast on Radio 1 in July, was refuted by the BBC.
