Well this is a bummer for Arch Enemy fans – the band just announced they are cancelling their North American tour this fall. Support was to come from Goatwhore and Uncured.
The band offered a relatively vague statement as to the reasoning of the cancellation:
“We very much regret to inform you that we will be postponing our return to North America until 2019. We were looking forward to seeing everyone again this Fall and to share our stage with Goatwhore and Uncured, but we have been forced to cancel this run due to reasons beyond our control. It’s very unfortunate timing, but we cannot wait to come back and rock US soil again next year and see all your faces! Thank you for understanding and as always for your support of Arch Enemy! Ticket and VIP refunds are available at point of purchase.”
What could these reasons beyond control be? We can only speculate but we look forward to seeing the band in 2019.
