Skarhead Forced To Cancel European Tour
New York hardcore supergroup Skarhead has announced that they have now cancelled their entire run of European shows. A message posted on their official Facebook account reads as follows:
"Last week Skarhead announced that they were forced to cancel the first couple of shows of the upcoming European Summer tour. Now opposed to the "statement" sent out by the booking agency, which is not an official statement by the band, Skarhead would like to clarify a few things. This tour wasn't cancelled 'due to a couple of cancelations,' nor due to 'logistical problems.' The only show that got cancelled was set for July 18th in Paris, France (also being the last show of the tour.) It actually seems that someone 'forgot' that, in order for a US band to play Europe, the band members need to get on a plane.
"In any case we can tell you that the band, in collaboration with their management & label, did everything in their power to try and salvage this great European run. After a very successful run earlier this year in March, the entire band was extremely excited to go back to Europe, play shows and see all of you amazing European fans again.
"The entire band has been on stand-by for more than a week in New York City for nothing, wasting time and risking losing jobs, so we fully understand your frustration and therefor want to apologize to all the Skarhead fans who were looking forward seeing us. There's probably no need to explain how sad and upset we are about this tour being cancelled, especially at such a last minute notice. Skarhead is currently working on a Fall tour and we'll make sure to post these dates as soon as possible."
