Swedish progressive metal act Opeth has announced that they will be cancelling their show in Tel Aviv, Israel. A message from the band reads as follows:

"It is with deep regret that Opeth have had to cancel their show in Tel Aviv, Israel due to the fact that it became logistically impossible to deliver gear and backline to Israel and have it clear customs in time for the show. The band hopes to be able to play in Israel later in the year when their schedule is less heavy time wise allowing sufficient time for freighting necessary equipment We send our sincere apologies to our fans Israel."

What's Next?

Dolev, I'm sorry to say that this is a news site and not a direct line to contact the band or their management. I understand that you'd be bummed. They're my favorite band as well.

That would be very cool. That makes me happy to see that some bands would reach out a bit to fans through a medium like MU. Horns up.
