This upcoming W.A.S.P. tour is proving to be a bit of a mess. It all started when Death Angel dropped off the tour thanks to some internal drama surrounding Mark Osegueda's involvement in Kerry King's solo band. Death Angel was replaced by Armored Saint and everything seemed to be alright.
Now Unto Others has revealed they've been dropped from the upcoming W.A.S.P. tour. According to a statement Unto Others, they were dropped with no warning and due to their alleged lack of a marketing plan. W.A.S.P. has not commented on Unto Others being dropped yet.
"North America: We will not be touring with W.A.S.P. this fall," wrote Unto Others. "They have decided it is in their best interest to drop us from the tour. This came with no warning or room for discussion on our end, and with 7 weeks to go before the run, really leaves us with minimal time to plan a suitable alternative.
"As im sure many will be left wondering why, we will tell you only the facts we know: W.A.S.P. told our team we never provided a marketing plan (we did, multiple times and have been working very hard promoting this tour and our new record.)
"That's it. No other reason was given. We are disappointed with this decision, we are all W.A.S.P. fans, and it's a shame when things work out this way so we are sorry. We will get some North American dates going as soon as we can and keep you updated.
"Subsequently, we have to cancel our Halloween show at Jackknife Brewing in Kelowna, BC which was routed as part of this tour. On a more positive note: We are playing Maryland Death Fest Pre-Fest in Baltimore, MD on May 21st 2025."
