The series was released and was a huge success months before an actors’ strike in Hollywood prevented planning.
The series Daisy Jones & The Six was one of the biggest streaming hits of 2023. Inspired by the book of the same name by Taylor Jenkins Reidthe series developed by Scott Neustadter It is Michael H. Weber for the Amazon Prime Video tells the story of the beginning, stardom and abrupt end of a fictional rock band.
Even an album with songs from the book — and the series —, titled Aurora, was released to make everything even more real. The cast had to learn to play real musical instruments to make the interpretation faithful.
Thus, it was not surprising that the actor-musicians — composed of Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Suki Waterhouse, Will Harrison, Josh Whitehouse It is Sebastian Chacon — do real live performances or even a tour.
This did not happened. Keough had previously revealed that there was a plan for this, but the Hollywood actors’ strike — which took place between May 2 and September 27 — prevented any activity in this regard.
Now, Waterhouse shared more details about the situation. In a video posted on his YouTube channel, showing a kind of recap of the American festival Lollapalooza Chicago of 2023, the artist said that she and her colleagues were working to perform at that event, held between August 3rd and 6th.
“The whole thing was planned, we got the visas for the people involved. It was a real operation. And then the strike happened, so we all decided we shouldn’t show up at the Lollapalooza. I’m looking out the window today, sad, because my partners are not here.”
Suki talking about how everything was arranged for Daisy Jones and The Six to perform at Lollapalooza Chicago last year, but they decided not to do it anymore due to the SAG strike.

Behind the scenes, green light
The idea of a show and even a tour of Daisy Jones & The Six was also well regarded among behind-the-scenes professionals. Scott Neustadtershowrunner and one of the series’ developers, said in 2023 that the idea of a tour was great, but that reconciling the actors’ schedules would be quite a challenge.
“Everyone involved really wants it to happen. It’s a matter of figuring out when they can all be in the same place at the same time again. They all have other really amazing plans. But I know they’re continuing to rehearse in the hope that maybe it can happen sooner rather than later. They’ll be ready when it does.”

With the actors’ other work in progress, it’s hard to imagine when a live performance would be possible. Perhaps it will never happen — just like a second season, which several people involved with the work have dismissed in interviews.
