Garron Noone makes ‘difficult' decision to cancel all his gigs this year
"It has gotten to a point where I really need to put all of my energy into getting back on track' Irish TikTok star and musician Garron Noone has made the "difficult" decision to reschedule all of his gigs for this year. The 'I'm delicious' comedian who had stunned fans last month by announcing his departure from social media has now said he needs to 'put all of my energy into getting back on track'. In an emotional update, the Mayo man posted: "Many of you will be aware of some of the issues I've dealt with in the past and unfortunately, over the last few months I have been dealing with a lot of these issues again. "It has gotten to a point where I really need to put all of my energy into getting back on track." Garron Noone Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 4th Noone said that all tickets for his 2025 shows will remain valid for his rescheduled 2026 shows, but that fans can contact ticket sellers for refunds. 'I'm disappointed that I'm not going to be able to see you all but hopefully I will see you in 2026 for the rescheduled shows. "Until I see ye again, Stay delicious,' he added. According to Irish Central, Noone was set to head stateside this summer, with gigs scheduled for Paddy Reilly's in New York City, the Milwaukee Irish Fest, Chicago's Gaelic Park Irish Fest, and McGonagle's Pub in Boston. "We fully support his decision to prioritize his well-being and wish him well," Milwaukee Irish Fest organizers said on social media after Noone's announcement. Paddy Reilly's said: "We fully support his decision and wish him love, strength, and healing. "If you're struggling, please seek help. Your well-being matters." Organizers of Chicago's Gaelic Park Irish Fest said: "We wish Garron well and we commend him for making the decision to prioritize his mental health." Last month Noone stunned fans by announcing a 'tiny little goodbye' from social media. The popular Mayo man who shares more than four million followers across TikTok and Instagram became emotional as he announced he was taking a step back. 'I'm gonna be saying a little goodbye to you today, just a tiny little goodbye, just maybe for a couple of months,' he said. 'I just need to take a small little social media break. I've been posting videos pretty much every day for the last two and a half years, and it's been my great f***ing pleasure to do so. Revealing the toll it has taken and the mental pressure that has accompanied his success, he reflected: 'I think I just need to get me head out of the game for a little while, and I'll come back nice and fresh with me lovely new ideas, and we'll have a great craic together.' He then became emotional as he expressed his gratitude to fans, telling them: 'I want to thank you from the absolute bottom of my soul for everything you've given me over the last few years. 'All of the opportunities, all of the people I've got to meet, everything good has come from you, and I really f***ing appreciate it, and you'll never understand how much I do. But thank you.' In a kind-hearted farewell gesture, Noone said he would make a charitable donation on behalf of his supporters. 'A lot of the money that I make from social media and stuff, I like to put it in a little pot and give it to charity, and I don't believe that money is coming from me, it's coming from you, the people that watch. 'So thank you so much for that. It's been able to help with animals and homelessness and all sorts of important things. 'And today I want to make a €10,000 donation on behalf of you good, delicious people to Doctors Without Borders. 'There's a lot going on in the world at the moment. I know you're hearing about that everywhere. You probably don't want to hear about it from me, but they do excellent humanitarian work, and I just think it's a great charity to give to. 'So thank you very much for that, and thank you so much for everything. Until I see you again, and if I don't see you again, it's been a pleasure having you. Maybe you won't catch me when I come back. 'It's been a pleasure having you. You are delicious. Stay delicious. And until next time, follow me, I'm delicious.' Noone previously opened about how he 'lost a lot of sponsors' and didn't leave his house for a week following a wave of reaction to a video he posted to social media in March. Noone deactivated his TikTok and Instagram accounts in the wake of backlash he faced to comments he made on immigration in a video shared following MMA fighter Conor McGregor's St Patrick's Day visit to the White House. When he returned to social media days later, he clarified that he is not anti-immigration nor is he aligned with McGregor. Speaking to The Hard Shoulder on Newstalk, Noone said he received 'hundreds of messages' quoting things he had never said and linking him with people he didn't want to be 'associated with'. 'I felt like I was going to walk outside and people were going to start shouting at me about me all these awful things people were saying I was going to be,' he said.

The Mayo native, who boasts 2.1 million Instagram followers and 2 million on TikTok, and who has become well known for his 'Follow me, I'm delicious' tagline, posted a statement on his official Facebook page, Garron Music, on Tuesday evening. 'I'm very sorry to have to post this. Thank you all for everything,' he posted, sharing a statement about the cancellation of all remaining shows. 'After a lot of thought, I'm very sad to have to make the difficult decision to reschedule all of my gigs for this year. It was not an easy decision to make,' he said in the statement. 'Many of you will be aware of some of the issues I've dealt with in the past and unfortunately, over the last few months I have been dealing with a lot of these issues again. 'It has gotten to a point where I really need to put all of my energy into getting back on track.' All tickets will remain valid for each rescheduled show, and those who would prefer a refund can contact their ticket provider. Noone said he is disappointed that he won't be able to meet his fans on tour, but hopes to be back in 2026 for the rescheduled shows. 'I'm very sorry to everyone that was coming to see me, I understand many of you will have made arrangements to be at the gigs,' he said. 'If it was possible, I would love to do them, but I have to accept that it isn't possible at this time. Thank you to everyone for all their support over the last couple of years, my break from making videos will also likely be a bit longer than I had first hoped, but I look forward to chatting to you all again soon.' Last month, Noone announced that he would be taking a 'small little social media break' for a couple of months. Noone said at the time that he had been putting a lot of pressure on himself to feel worthy of the number of people watching his videos and said he just needed to get his head out of the game for a little while and 'come back nice and fresh with my lovely new ideas'. He said any videos that appear on his social media accounts over the coming months are sponsored posts for which the dates had already been locked in. 'Hopefully it won't be too long after that until I'm back. Until I see ye again, Stay Delicious," he said. Earlier this year Noone spoke on The Late Late Show about his experience with agoraphobia and panic attacks. "Eventually got to the point where I couldn't leave the house without having a panic attack. I spent about five years completely housebound, having panic attacks every day," he said.

Children's Bus Fares Being Re-Introduced
Children's fares will be reintroduced and adults will pay slightly more to use the buses in Otago from September. Otago Regional Councillors today agreed to raise fares for adults and end free fares for 5- to 12-year-olds. From late September, adult fares will rise from $2 to $2.50 (with a Bee card) and 5- to 18-year-olds will pay a $1.50 fare in both Dunedin and Queenstown. Public and Active Transport Committee Co-Chair Andrew Noone says, 'This was a difficult decision to make, knowing the impact it will have for people. We are balancing the requirements from central government to increase the proportion of public transport funding from things like fares, rather than rates or government funding, along with community expectations.' 'Community feedback on the Regional Public Transport Plan shows 89% of submitters want us to retain free child fares. We will be outlining our disappointment that the policy we have to work within is not flexible enough or fit for purpose to consider local conditions, especially regarding child fares,' Cr Noone said. Councillors agreed to write to the Minister of Transport, Minister of Education and Associate Minister of Education to express concern about the unintended consequences of raising child fares to meet private share which could potentially affect school attendance rates. These decisions are part of the Otago Regional Public Transport Plan review. Other key decisions Moving to a zone fare structure in the future was also approved. Further analysis and modelling will be carried out and there is no timeframe for this change yet. The Council supports public transport connectivity within Otago and will support investigations into community transport, with the timing and scale of any future community transport programme to be decided in future Council meetings. Some regional upgrades will not happen due to co-funding gaps, but the Council is committed to finding ways to improve connectivity options for Ōamaru, Balclutha and Central Otago.
