As the second leg of the tour approached, Charli XCX withdrew which resulted in the cancellation of all that leg's shows. Charli XCX stated on social media that she made this decision for "personal reasons".[2] Although the second leg was cancelled, Shadow of The City, a new festival curated by Jack Antonoff, was still scheduled to take place.[3]
