Sorry, dolls: Another major act has scrapped its planned central Indiana summer concert.
Girl group The Pussycat Dolls have nixed all but one of the North American dates of the PCD Forever reunion tour, which was set to hit Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville June 28. The news comes just after former One Direction singer Zayn Malik pulled his July 28 Gainbridge Fieldhouse stop as part of a full cancelation of his U.S. tour dates and rap-country crossover Post Malone pushed his headlining stadium tour back to finish his upcoming album, though his Lucas Oil Stadium show June 12 is still a lock.
Pop artist Meghan Trainor also canceled her entire Get In Girl Tour, which was headed for Ruoff June 13, last month. Additionally, rapper Kid Cudi booted M.I.A. as a featured guest on his Rebel Ragers Tour, which will still hit Ruoff with guest Big Boi June 10, for offensive remarks she made during her set on the tour's opening date in Dallas May 2.

Pussycat Dolls, which recently reunited with three of the original six members more than 20 years after its heyday, cited low ticket sales as the reason for the PCD Forever cancelation. The group pulled 32 of its 33 planned summer dates, keeping a June 6 performance at the OUTLOUD Music Festival in West Hollywood, California, as well as the fall European leg of the tour.
"When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world," the group wrote in a May 4 Instagram post. "After taking an honest look at the North American run, we’ve made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates"
Fans who purchased tickets to Pussycat Dolls' Ruoff stop directly through Ticketmaster will automatically receive a refund, according to the group's post. Customers who purchased tickets through a third-party seller like StubHub or SeatGeek should reach out to the service, the post says.
The PCD Forever Ruoff stop was one of more than 100 Indiana concerts included in Live Nation's "Summer of Live" promotion. The sale offers $30 tickets for select shows and runs through 11:59 p.m. May 5.

The Pussycat Dolls are the third touring act to make headlines for sweeping concert cancelations in less than a week. Malik announced May 1 that he is scrapping all of his upcoming U.S. tour dates supporting his new album “Konnakol” after being hospitalized for an unspecified illness last month. The tour schedule still includes a handful of dates in England, Mexico, Chile Argentina, Brazil and Peru scattered from May to October, according to Malik’s website.
"I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can,” Malik wrote in a May 1 Instagram story. “I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon.”
Post Malone made a similar announcement the same day, taking to Instagram to reveal changes to his “Big Ass Stadium Tour” with fellow county artist Jelly Roll. The schedule shift, which pushes the original May 13 start date to June 9, comes as Malone finishes his 40-song double album “The Eternal Buzz,” according to Rolling Stone.
“I came to the realization that what we’re trying to do, and what’s possible, isn’t really lining up,” Malone wrote in a May 1 Instagram story. “We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done.”
Malone and Jelly Roll’s June 12 Indianapolis date just makes the cutoff of the new schedule as the second show on the tour. Malone canceled shows in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, moving the tour kickoff to Charlotte, North Carolina.
