Ghost have been forced to scuttle an impending show on their current ‘Skeletour‘ run. The multi-platinum occult rock outfit issued the below statement today, April 26th, in regards to the fate of their planned April 30th stop at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid, Spain. According to the group, the cancelation stems from the lack of capabilities for the venue to properly accommodate the band’s stage production. Ghost‘s statement reads:
“It is with deep regret that we inform you the Ghost show on April 30th at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid has been canceled. Due to complex production issues beyond our control, the venue is unable to safely accommodate the weight and size of our production. Despite highest efforts to move the show to Movistar Arena, the current basketball league’s schedule has rendered the venue unavailable.
The band is devastated and shares in the disappointment caused by these unforeseeable circumstances. Every attempt possible will be made to return and deliver the show Madrid deserves!
Tickets will be refunded at points of purchase starting April 30th.”
