Geordie Greep Addresses Vancouver Sexual Assault Allegation Amid Tour Cancellations

On October 8, 2026, flyers outside The Pearl venue in Vancouver accused former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep of rape. After a delay of about one hour and forty minutes, Greep took the stage without his band, delivered a spoken address, and performed a solo ten-song set. He denied the allegation, called it a “misunderstanding,” apologized for making someone uncomfortable, offered refunds to anyone who wished to leave, and said proceeds would be donated to a British Columbia organization supporting victims of violence.

I got the wrong end of the stick with someone who was there, and I made a move, and it didn’t come off,” — Geordie Greep
