Metalcore veterans Hatebreed and tenured alternative metallers Life Of Agony have confirmed the dates for a fall European tour together. That trek has been titled the ‘East Coast Assault On Europe Tour‘ and is due to launch in November of this year. Interestingly, Baltimore, MD hardcore band End It had also originally been revealed to play this run, including a since-edited post shared by the tour’s booking agency M.A.D. Tourbooking.
End It, have been the topic of much discussion lately, after their now infamous banana man incident that took place during their Toronto, ON show over the past weekend. During that set, the band’s vocalist Akil Godsey put a bounty on a fan in the audience that was wearing a banana costume. Godsey offered the band’s setlist for the concert to whoever tore apart the banana costume, leading to a number of audience members quickly mobbing the fan and destroying the costume. The reaction to that has bounty been mixed, to say the least.
There’s certainly no shortage of potential reasons End It have seemingly been omitted from the bill, be it scheduling changes on End It‘s part, or even Hatebreed and Life Of Agony not wanting this tour to be overshadowed by the ongoing banana man controversy. Thus far it all appears to be speculation however, as there doesn’t appear to have been a statement made as to why the band are now absent from this official reveal.
