Cradle Of Filth have scrapped their planned U.S. tour with The Faceless, Decapitated and The Agonist as a result of “U.S. immigration issues.” The bands camp said of the ill-fated trek:
“Cradle of Filth are really sorry to tell all of their fans that their U.S. tour ‘28 Days Closer to Hell‘ is going to have to be canceled, due to U.S. immigration issues beyond the band’s control. They have been desperately trying to solve these problems, but it has become evident they are not going to be resolved in time for the band to embark on a tour that starts next week. The band sincerely apologize to all their fans and to the other acts on the tour and want to assure people they have made every effort possible to go ahead with the tour.”
A press release also stated that there are no immediate plans to reschedule the tour, which appears to have now been cancelled entirely. The Agonist have also commented on the cancellation with the following:
“Dear North American Fans: Cradle of Filth has just released the following Tour Cancellation Statement [see above.] We are truly sorry to those of you who were coming out to see us live. This cancellation was beyond our control and we are devastated by this news, both emotionally and financially. We devoted so much to this tour that to say we are disappointed would be an immense understatement. Please accept our sincere apologies and we hope to see you all again soon.
–The Agonist“
