Yesterday we found out that Lamb of God will not play the rest of its tour in Europe with Children of Bodom and Sylosis after the bands had their show cancelled in Tilburg due to security concerns. Here's what the band had to say about the decision to cancel via Facebook.
“Due to concerns brought to our attention by the venue security team yesterday in Tilburg – and continued general concerns across Europe – we have decided against putting our fans, our crew and ourselves in this position night after night and will be canceling the remainder of our performances in Europe. This is a decision we are making on behalf of the fans, our crew, and our band, as well as the well-being of everyone’s family, friends and loved ones at home. Stay safe, and we will see you very soon”
People are also really, really pissed off about the band canceling their appearances across Europe despite other bands soldiering on, which honestly I think is kind of unfair of the fans. Some bands don't see so much an issue and want to play, some don't want to risk it. It's a personal call on each other band's parts. How can you fault a band for being worried about their safety?!
Children of Bodom will continue on with Sylosis and you can get those dates here.
